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 haven't changed my views much since I was about 12, really, I've just got a 12-year-old mentality.When I was in school I had a brother who was into Kerouac and he gave me On The Road to read when I was 12 years old. That's still been a big influence.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

There's not much point in getting any heavier... there's too many things to read and look at.

I believe in Beatles, I believe my little soul has grown.

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists. There are good things and bad things about being an artist, and the good thing is, sometimes you get an inside line on what's really happening. You develop these strange antennae that clue you in to what's really going on.
