If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.

When I was 9 years old, I wanted to be the baritone sax player in the Little Richard band.

Everything we look at and choose is some way of expressing how we want to be perceived.

Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
