Don't ever let the media tell you what your body is supposed look like. You're beautiful the way you are. Stay beautiful, keep it ugly.

Those guys who want to have the Mohawk...which, to me, is the new business casual.

I don't like to write a script unless I know who the artist is. A lot of people can do it without that, and that's cool, but I like to look at the art.

When youre touring and the minute you tell someone that youre from Jersey its the equivalent of telling them you just got out of jail.

I feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.

If you chase the art, you really can't fail because you'll always be able to look at yourself in the mirror. And that's not about making angry decisions, either, it's about always doing the right thing for you, your fans and your art.

Be yourself, don't take anything from anyone, and never let them take you alive.
