“I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.”

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race

In my madness I see your face in mine.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.

In your fear, seek only peace. In your fear, seek only love.

I’ve never responded well to entrenched negative thinking.

I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.

I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn’t talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It’s such an expressive form of popular music, it’s so real, it’s got so much life: it’s the most vital music in the world.

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.

Make the best of every moment. We’re not evolving. We’re not going anywhere.

The media is either our salvation or our death.

I don’t make changes to confuse anyone. I’m just searching. That’s what causes me to change. I’m just searching for myself.

If you have an idea and I have an idea – then we EACH have JUST ONE idea; but if you share your idea with me and I do the same, we EACH have TWO ideas!

I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government, by taking them all over the United States, and giving them a correct idea of the customs, life, etc., of the pale faces, so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.

If you act enthusiastic, you will become enthusiastic. A mediocre mind that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state.

People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.

We think that success equals happiness, but this idea is an illusion.

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
