I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

I wish there were more good new bands that would light a fire and offer a little friendly competition that would be welcomed.

I was starting to come to grips with the fact that I had created a lot of pain and suffering around me, not just within me.

It was because all we wanted was each other's constant love and attention and for no one else to receive that love and attention, which is a selfish and difficult place to be in a relationship. We were emotionally retarded, and that was the best we could do at the time.

I would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect.

You know what's the worst? Being a 16 year old girl who loves a famous Singer, not solely for his looks, but because you truly believe he is talented and devoted and you agree deeply with his message. Because no matter how intelligently and fully you can express that, people will assume you're just a silly teenager who thinks a famous guy is cute.
