I can never turn my back on a city that made me.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.

I don't think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

When I say I'll murder my baby's mother, maybe I wanted to but I didn't. Anybody who takes it literally is 10 times sicker than I am.

My thing is this; if I'm sick enough to think it, then I'm sick enough to say it.

I’d rather die than you not be by my side.
