I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.

I was always accused of being cold and unfeeling. It was because I was intimidated about touching people.

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.

I don't make changes to confuse anyone. I'm just searching. That's what causes me to change. I'm just searching for myself.

If I hadn't had my children, I would have been discouraged a lot quicker. It would have been much more easy for me to say, "You know what, let the whole thing go. Have a good time, because these people, this place - it's just not worth it." You know? I can't do that anymore. I look into those eyes and they look at me so trustingly that I'm gonna make sure that [they're thinking], "Hey, you did a good thing bringing me into the world, daddy. I'm going to have a great life!"

I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.

What I like doing is writing and recording and much more on the, I guess, the - on that creative level. It's fun interpreting songs and all that, but I wouldn't like it as a living.
