I'd be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I'd like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely.

I love being a freak. It's great!

Everybody is trying to be so trendy. I think not being trendy should be the next trend.

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.

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.

You lose so many material possessions being on the road. You can't get too attached to stuff and you have to remember that people must never become possessions. People are spheres intersecting. You have to make sure that one sphere doesn't ever take over the other. Individuality is absolutely the most important thing

When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.
