Oh, I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that. I was a little bit introspective, a little bit morbid. I was small for my age, so I was bullied and that kind of stuff.
That's my talent, I make people feel uneasy.
My music has always been my solo project.
If you spend the first 30 years of your life only trying to look good, you're not going to know yourself very well. If you got it, flaunt it.
If you are going to go to Heaven, I'm going to Heaven. But I don't believe in Heaven.
I'm not just going to go back to my bedroom, get a job and 'get real with myself' - come on. I'm already too old, and I'm lucky to have a job at all.
I'm not interested in nostalgia; I'm interested in who I am.
I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.
I'd like to be seen as a normal, attractive person with good values.
I think I've been lucky enough to have had an extended adolescence. I'm a lot like I was when I was 15.
I never thought of myself as capable of stirring up - generating - the actual drumroll for a record, you know, all the press.
I love it when other people can come up with ideas and tell me what to do.
I feel like I'm neither a girl nor a boy. I don't feel like a man.
Do you know I used to pride myself on the fact that I'd never booked a show in my life, but that I'd played so many because I'd been invited?
