Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.

If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

I think I've been addicted to openness since long before my rock career. I was terrible as a teenager. I used to go out of my way to make people uncomfortable with personal details. I was always fascinated by the idea that we have these weird, random boundaries between what we do and don't show.

Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.

If you're going to make work and you're going to write and you're going to put yourself out there and perform, you will be belittled, you will be insulted, you will be called a standard collection of names, you will be accused, and you just have to stand there and continue to work and find a way to not let those things poison you.

I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.
