I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
I don't want to be a spokesperson.
I really miss being able to blend in with people.
I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday.
You can't buy happiness
I'm a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there's a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I'm just as confused as most people. I don't have the answers for anything.
I've never been more confused in my life, but at the same time I've never been more satisfied with what we've done.
I write poems for myself and I write poetry that gets torn apart and becomes songs. I have a lot of respect for words, the power of words.
I'm not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off the homophobes.
You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia.
I wanted to be in a punk band before I had even heard any punk music.
My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.
That's what music is: entertainment. The more you put yourself into it, the more of you comes out in it.
For the first seven years of my life, I listened to nothing but The Beatles.
