I like my solitude, and I'm a strong-willed person; I'm a very hard-to-be-around person sometimes, I guess.

I think the younger kids need to realize there's this whole forgotten 90s that people don't really talk about.

You think about people like Elvis, Kurt Cobain, or the Beatles, who grew up without privilege and needed a certain validation through peoples' acceptance, or admiration from their peers. And money is part of that, but it always comes too late.

I've been going through a lot of... stuff. I need some space, which people were very kind enough to give me, and I feel really gracious about that. Nobody forces me to do things or say things or do interviews.

As a homosexual, my job is simply to sodomize mediocrity.

I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

We didn't have MTV, and I was desperate for something. You know, you're young, you want something off the beaten path. And Twin Peaks was like, surrealism on network TV.
