"Why do I love songs? It’s three minutes of condensed storytelling, of trying to collect your thoughts lyrically, musically and emotionally, and when it works there’s nothing on earth like it. Think about it: Airwaves of sound move the little hairs and bones in your body, enter your brain and make your neurons fire off skyrockets. No matter how much you look at the math of it, it is beautiful, it is mystical beyond words. I only have to think about a song like `Waterloo Sunset,’ and my physiology changes. What’s not to love about that?"
