Be who you want to be and not care about what others think.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens

I didn't really get the chance to talk to girls. I was a straight boy with hormones kicking in, and I wanted to talk to girls, but they weren't interested in talking back to me, so there was a real sense of loneliness.

Three things it would be extremely difficult to play a show without: makeup, my vocal cords and pants.

I never advocate that you should be lonely, or come to my shows and bring me your razor blade to show me that you don't cut anymore.

Live your life, listen to your music way to loud, be crazy and as different as you want to be and always remember your not alone

Never give in, never back down.
