I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.

Pop is an easy way for evil business people to make a lot of money. But I find myself humming a Christina Aguilera song every once in a while.

Britney Spears. Because she's a girl, I wouldn't smack her - I'd lock her in a closet with poisonous spiders or something. Let her think about what she's doing to the youth culture of America.

Unfortunately, the simplest things - such as thinking for myself, creating my own reality and being whatever the hell I want to be each day of my life - are a sin. To be a good Christian basically means to give up the reigns of your life and let some unseen force do it for you.

I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long.

Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.

I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.
