The road was new to me as roads always are going back.

They say that when people still rode on vehicles powered by oil, they could go anywhere they wanted.

People didn’t know everything then. There were things people had never seen before. Places nobody had ever been. You could make up a story and people would believe it...Also maybe it seems like it would be okay not to be perfect. Nobody was perfect back then. Just about everyone was defective, and most people had no choice except to stay that way.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

This moment has nothing to do with the last one unless you choose the past to continue.

I think you really have to remember what you loved about making music in the first place. Ultimately, people can be like, 'We've seen this dude in many movies,' but if they hear a song and they're feeling it, they can look past all the personal things and not hold it against you that you're also an actor.

Photographs are very interesting, and you can look into them a million times and still find a new meaning in them, something in the past that was caught in the film itself….

Posterity will say as usual: 'In the past things were better the present is worse than the past.'.

My heart was in my mouth. I realised that I had no desire to know any more about her past. What was behind her made me feel sick, petrified. Only the future mattered now.

Forgiveness empties the past of its power to empty the present of its peace.
