I just wanna kind of give the world something special.
It was harder to break into comics than it was to become a singer in a rock band.
If you're ever in a dark place, don't resort to violence. Talk to someone; whether it be a therapist, teacher, parent, or just someone you can trust. We all have our dark places and it's important that you get help.
I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously...you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute...HA! I looked hot as a chick!
My favorite band at the moment is the Dresden Dolls, they're from Boston. It's a guy and a girl. She plays piano and he plays the drums and she also sings. You can find them on the web they're incredible.
I had no direction. I thought, 'I need to make a difference in my life,' and music was my answer.
GIVE ME YOUR REASON TO BELIeVE
The future is bulletproof, the aftermath is secondary.
Look at me, with my pretty bracelet and tiara... I'm a f****n' princess!
I've always had bizarre, negative feelings about anything traditional, like marriage and family. I never thought something like that worked.
I feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.
Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most [borrowed from Mark Twain]
Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably.
