I felt rich when I was 20 years old and my wife was paying my bills. Just being in a band, I've always felt blessed.

Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

I wish to begin again on a daily basis. To be born again every day is something that I try to do. And I'm deadly serious about that.

The job of art is to chase ugliness away.

The right to be irresponsible and stupid is something I hold very dear. And luckily it is something I do well.

Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.

I have learned to interface - what I think would be the contemporary term - with various different lexicons, and people speak very different languages. I've learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.
