As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come. I truly hope you enjoy the new record.

But when I cut off my hair I even had friends not recognize me.

I can't think of anything that people probably wouldn't already have heard of.

I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision.

I find drug use disrespectful, self destructive and weak. I want no part of it. I believe in complete respect for myself and others.

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

Usually, old ladies tell me to find Jesus. Look, I'm just trying to find some chai and a good vegan muffin.
