I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.

You can't expect your children to be perfect.

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 don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

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’VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.

I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.
