My skin is my canvas. The artwork on it represents something that is very powerful and meaningful in my life. I look at my skin as something of a living diary because all my tattoos represent a time in my life. And I never wish to shut the door on the past, so I carry it all with me.

I grew up listening to albums by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and they all worked on that multi-layered level.

I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don't have the patience.

As a viewer of television if there's something I don't like or find offensive, I just don't watch it.

I have never been sexually aroused by a man. But I have yet to kiss Johnny Depp, so you never know.

Jane's Addiction has only put out new music when our hearts were in and when we had something to say creatively.

For me, it doesn't matter how difficult something is, it doesn't matter how impressive it is, it's what sounds best that really counts.
