“Normal is enormously susceptible to swinging with the gusts of politics and history.”

Hey, bro…So there’s like 7,000 paparazzi outside. Maybe two of you guys can roll over, and one of you can grab the Ferrari, and then we can just split? Thanks, bro.

And that’s me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.

Why couldn’t we learn from the devastatingly low percentage of successful marriages that our last generation went through?

I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn’t play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.

Nothing wrong with making money.

I think pain is the best feeling for song writing. You can write good happy songs, but I think the kind of bruiting, depressing ones are more effective.

I play in a band, I write songs, I sing, you know, perform on stage.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

I’m not killing myself auditioning, chasing that dream

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don’t think I’m entitled to it. That’s a big difference.

Markets are conversations.

I’ve always felt a little misrepresented in the world.

I don’t think any relationship responds well to pressure.

George Bush is just as much in the dark as I am, and it scares me.

I have a high self-opinion – I don’t need to hide that. I don’t need to be self-deprecating.

And I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it’s enormously comforting to believe that you’re going to see your loved ones.

Television will enormously enlarge the eye’s range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Together with the tabs, the mags, and the movies, it will insist that we forget the primary and the near in favor of the secondary and the remote.

I have been enormously lucky. My first role was in a great film by a woman director.
