“The less you think you know, the more will be known. It’s amazing what you can know when you let go of being the knower.”

“The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.”

“The more you know, the more you realise how much you don’t know — the less you know, the more you think you know.”

“Have you come over time to think that you know more now than you did when you were young, know less now than when young, know now there is so much more to know than you knew there was to know when young that it is moot whether you think you knew more then than now or less, or do you now know that you never knew anything at all and never will and only the bluster of youth persuaded you that you did or would?”

“I think there’s no greater joy than completing a song out of thin air. It’s like inventing something, but it’s invisible, you know? It’s weird. It amazes me. You can send it out in the world, and that’s the joy. It’s like giving birth to all these songs and letting them go like they’re your kids.”

“You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.”
