David Duchovny

"There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the panoply of life's rich experience."

David Duchovny

Francoise Sagan

"I had read a lot of stories. It seemed to me impossible not to want to write one. Instead of leaving for Chile with a band of gangsters, one stays in Paris and writes a novel. That seems to me the great adventure." Francoise Sagan

Pelle Almqvist

"I have a friend who is writing a big bible on punk aesthetics. The last picture in the book was supposed to be a picture of Demi Moore on the cover of Architectural Digest, where it says "At home with Demi and Ashton" and she's wearing a Sex Pistols T-shirt. That's basically the end for punk." Pelle Almqvist.

Lena Dunham

"It’s possible to feel like a creepy, pervy producer even if you are a 26-year-old girl." Lena Dunham

Townes Van Zandt

"I've a 1989 Chevrolet Pick-up that I love as much as anything, with a bed built in the back where I live quite a bit... [It'll] go anywhere except across the ocean. I can't wait to see it again. I'll see it in about a week." Townes Van Zandt

Craig Cash

"I watch Grand Designs and that Boardwalk Empire... it's a bit slow, but who am I to say anything's slow." Craig Cash

Johanna and Klara Soderberg

"Our parents would treat every painting we did as if Picasso had painted it. They gave us massive egos. We would sing and perform in front of our parents at any given opportunity, and make tapes of ourselves. We must have been so annoying." Johanna and Klara Soderberg

Tim Winton

'I don't see optimism as an emotional state or an emotional dispensation. It's a discipline that you adopt because the alternative is despair.'' Tim Winton

Matt Berninger

"I passed Leonard Cohen between two tents at a festival in Barcelona and he complimented my hat. Those were the only words he said to me: 'Nice hat', so that was a big moment for me. In reality though, it was a stupid looking hat. I wore it for a few days, Leonard Cohen says, 'Nice hat,' then I get home, my wife sees it, and says, 'You look like an idiot.''" Matt Berninger

Garrison Keillor

"A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together." Garrison Keillor
