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.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.

It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!

Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.

I think one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is just access to the possibility of freedom that you don't have to be totally depressed and enslaved by your own environment.

It feels like it is a daily work and an ongoing task to undo all of the f - - g programming that I have had all my life about who I am supposed to be and how I'm supposed to look and that I'm supposed to win. It's a daily deconstruction of all that bullshit.
