“I suspect that dreams are an integral part of existence, with far more use for us than we’ve made of them…The fine line between the dream state and reality is at times, for me, quite grey.”

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

Never bored, so I’ll never get old.

I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

I can ask for cigarettes in every language.

There’s a terror in knowing what the world is about.

You can’t stand still on one point for your entire life.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

I don’t have stylistic loyalty. That’s why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

It’s only forever, Not long at all.

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.

You float underneath my eyelids – a dream I never seem to get enough of.

People will give you a million reasons why your dreams are crazy. Ignore anyway.  

Live and dream. In a sweet, but invented by you paradise.

The places that ive been, the things that i have seen – what you have as nightmares, are what i have as dreams.

I must have loved you before, in another life, beyond a dream, across centuries.

We are never too late to start working on our dreams.

You were a beautiful dream but dreams dont last long.

It was always your dreams we focused on, you never thought I’d have dreams too.
