I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.

"The way I feel about music -- any song, any style -- is that there is no right and wrong, only true and false. If the music and lyrics are conceived out of honesty and if the production of the song goes along with its original message, then what has been expressed is art, regardless of what anyone's opinion is of it. So things are a lots impler if you just tell the truth.

Most of the time you need something to fight against. If something is bothering me, then the only way to get past it is to work through it.

I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.

Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.

I would never kill myself, but you can kind of let yourself die.

Home is where my habits have a habitat
