I Lived on the street when i was a kid, i wasn’t even at school, so i had a whole different set of experiences for those formative years. I was gone… i was in a very precarious place when i was younger.
Thank God for the Italians, the most forgiving people of the world. And they sing so loud you can barely hear the music!
Pray to your God, open your heart. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.
It's okay to stand on your own two feet and to be different, to be yourself.
I'm constantly failing, but not upset about it. I think there's a great deal to learn from that.
So many people have tried to get happiness and serenity from outside things; it's pretty much common knowledge that is a road to nowhere. I've never heard anybody say, 'Fame made me the complete person I am.' Well, I'm sure people have said it, but nobody I respect.
Live your life for anyone but yourself
I fail enough and I beat myself up enough. I don't need anybody else to do it for me.
Follow your dreams.No matter what
I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure.
Dream big while you sleep, and even bigger when you're awake.

I wanted to be a visual artist because I grew up around a lot of painters and photographers and had a very artistic upbringing. And I fantasized about being a drug-dealer when I was a kid. I thought it would be a good opportunity; I knew that the market would be strong. Is that bizarre?
If I wasn’t making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deer….Talking to myself.
