I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.

I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.

Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.

It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.

When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.
