I just haven't let myself get to a place where I've felt a part of any kind of a community, so I've always stayed outside of it.

I have no desire for any type of introspection at all. I don't ever ask myself any questions. I don't want answers.

The first time I hung out with [David Blaine], he took me to this condemned building, and it had a pizza oven and he crawled into the pizza oven and turned the heat on to 400 degrees or something like that, and he stayed in it for I guess a half hour. He came out, and except for one or two second-degree burns, he was unscathed. You meet a lot of musicians and filmmakers and actors, but it's rare to meet someone who can step inside a pizza oven and take the heat. I was intrigued by that.
