The deeper you get into Yoga you realize it is a spiritual practice. It's a journey I'm making. I'm heading that way.
Love is stronger than justice.
Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult.
I exist in a state of almost perpetual hysteria.
I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.
One of the rewards of success is freedom, the ability to do whatever you like.
I don't like singing before noon.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
I've only paid lip service to a spiritual life.
The more irrational of us are worried about the millennium ending - as if a date would really matter.
It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game.
It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.

There's no religion but sex and music.
I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.
I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.
The Super Bowl is Americana at its most kitsch and fun.
I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
I'm not speaking as someone who has reached satori or anything else. I'm a student.
I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.
If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
