I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.
You're always searching for the thing to heal you, and I thought therapy would give me that. But it didn't - it just helps you recognize your demons.
I think we shape God in our own image a lot of the time.
I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.
I was more than just a moody artist.
I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.
God has spoken to me differently through my life, and it has gotten better as I've gotten older. I don't know if that's my reception or his maturing.
Other than dying, I think puberty is probably about as rough as it gets.
You always want to feel you're not the only one going through something unpleasant.
As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.
I do have a lot of deep religious iconography. I have crosses all over my house, and there's something very attractive about seeing nuns walking down the street. It's not a sexual thing for me; I know it is for some guys.
If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.
I don't ever expect to be permanently happy. I don't think that's part of the human condition.
Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.
