I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I envisioned all these people who had been admired for having been freaks in their own time, and I saw myself in line with them.

I know when somebodys heard my music. I can hear it in their music.

If somebody ever says something is a mature theme, it's bound to not be. I mean, you shouldn't fall for that. You can make it sound mature, but anything that's about being mature is pretty immature.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

From day one, I was already famous in my own head. It didn't take anything to make me feel that way. I know I'm totally not famous. I mean, it just depends on your perspective.

I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
