I have as much rage as you have, I have as much pain as you do, I've lived as much hell as you have, and I've kept mine bubbling under for you.

There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.

I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

Whether you’re checked in or checked out, you’re always on a spiritual journey.

I notice that when I feel the most disconnected, once I'm done blaming the moon and everything else, I can see that I am so mired in identification with form and ego and story and identity, and that if I want to, I can read some scripture or read some spiritual book or pray or meditate or sit in the sun or hang around the birds and the dogs, and get a real objective sense of what's really going on here. That usually softens things.
