There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.

I don't like people who hide things.

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.

I believe in having certain releases, certain outlets. One has to indulge. If you don't indulge, you don't live -might as well be dead. I believe in indulging as a user and not as an abuser.

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.
