“A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenge...” — Marcel Proust Quote

“A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.”

“In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.”

“The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.”

“I do have a big problem with the idea of music as a form of communication unless it's political - and that's where it's tricky because a lot of music is political, even if it's not overtly so. But my music isn't that; it's about a feeling.”

“The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.”

“I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.”
