I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.

There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

It says in the Bible that if you argue with a fool, you become one. That’s why I don’t talk to Fred Durst!

As musicians it's often difficult. You go to a dinner party and most people treat you like some kind of exotic animal and in a way like you don't have any problems and that it's all fantastic and glamorous and that you wake up in the morning, you kick the groupies out of bed, you roll onto the floor onto a needle, right, which fills you with a lovely substance, you roll into the gutter and you stare at the moon and out comes beautiful poetry. The fact of the matter is that that's nonsense. It's a lot of hard work.

Music has touched me deeply, sometimes to tears. But at the same time it's been life-affirming, because I've been grateful for the fact that I'm alive and human and capable of being so moved.

I think what you have to realise is that our generation is the first generation since its sexual awakening has come into the world and realised that sex can mean, ultimately, death. That has had a very serious effect on social morals and on the way people deal with each other. As we approach the millennium, people are getting more and more confused and contact is getting more and more sanitised, so there's a lot more mental games being played.

I'm a weirdo magnet, but I'm handling it better than I used to.
