Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.

The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.

My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.

All my songs are where I am.
