I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.

I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me, because it's not their profession to do that.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
