spiritual thinking denial
I think all of us are living in denial of our spiritual nature as we continue to participate in the material world even though we know we're destroying the planet we live on.
dna cells dust
Then, of course, through the umbilical link we all tumble backwards down the spiralling DNA staircase to one common ancestor in Africa, and before that some bunch of curious monkeys. Down and down we go unto the sea, unto the dust, the single cellular dust. What impulse drove one cell to become two? What yearning pulled the fish on to the land? What caused apes to walk upright? Some invisible magnetic pull. Is there a difference between attraction and intention? Where is evolution taking us?
suffering important musician
You're a musician, it is important that you suffer!
way different better-than-you
I'm not better than you; I'm just different than you in a way that's better.
helping problem producers
As a producer, you've got to be involved in helping out with solving problems.
real rooms fans
It was crushingly disappointing as a fan of The Simpsons to discover that it's just you in a room speaking into a microphone. I thought I was going to become friends with Homer Simpson, but unfortunately none of them are real.
drug kingdoms firsts
When I first became famous in the United Kingdom it was helpful because it meant there wasn't a spite of 'this bloke's a drug addict,' 'this bloke f**ks all these women' because I was just making jokes about all those things already, so it made me some kind of incorruptible indefatigable, indestructible force.

Imagining the overthrow of the current political system is the only way I can be enthused about politics.
love-is space end-times
Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.
fame make-me-happy
I'm famous now. But now that I've got fame and some of the other things I thought would make me happy - it ain't worked
journey thinking democracy
I think, you're not blagging me on this ridiculous journey, with this bit of paper. I think if you want to change things, it's not with an X on a piece of paper, it's with an X on someone's forehead.
spiritual pain self
Say I feel all sad and self-indulgent, then get stung by a wasp, my misery feels quite abstract and I long just to be in spiritual pain once more - 'damn you tiny assassin, clad in yellow and black, how I crave my former innocence where melancholy was my only trial'.
jobs memories iphone
Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iPhone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory.
needs helping prepared
If anybody needs any help with anything, I'm prepared to help.
