Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.
I'm a survivor, at least that's what everyone tells me.
Being a rock star is like being a cult leader - you really have to be in your own religion.
Being offended is part of being in the real world.
I did not want to make the widow record. I still haven't made the widow record.
Being a rock widow is not my job, so I would hire people to do it for me.
What makes the most money for this business? Dead rock stars.
I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band.
I have a lot of regrets, of course I do. I should have taken that part; I should have maybe married that one, I don't know, but I didn't. So I am what I am and I'm pretty confident that I can break in. I think what I have to offer on film and on television is honest.
I'm pretty normal in some ways. In some ways I'm completely extraordinary, and in other ways I'm completely weird and eccentric.
I have a deathly fear of mediocrity and that nips at my heels and gets me into a lot of trouble.
[Kurt Cobain] had a lot of German in him. Some Irish. But no Jew. I think that if he had had a little Jew he would have [expletive] stuck it out.
I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.
There's not a lot of people expressing anger in the culture. They're expressing a lot of hyper-exaggerated sexuality.
