I've been approached many times by many different people, and most people want to do something that I write and produce, and I'm just not into that.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

I get along really well with [my father] now, but I had a terrible time with him in my teenage years. All we did was scream at each other, and when we weren't screaming at each other, we just wouldn't talk to each other.

Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.

I think I'm getting there, but it's very hard to perform at my absolute peak when an awful lot of people come just to make their presence known, when the lights go down and all you can hear is people screaming.

For a while I took Ecstacy when it was not very available over here. I took it simply because it made me feel that everything was wonderful.

This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.
