In the 1970s and 1980s there was so little decent fiction for young people, but we’re now in a golden age that shows no sign of fading. Philip Pullman, J. K. Rowling, Lemony Snicket are only three of the best known among a good number of equals.
I want to sell to people my own age, because that’s the way I write songs.
I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It’s an emergency.
You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
I think that clearly it has an influence, to be coming of age during the punk rock era, to come from a difficult and sporadically violent background, to have been in and out of such chaos, I think it actually helps. But I don’t know for sure.

IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I’m far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone.

Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.
