I hate painting with a broad brush, but I think the birther thing, at its root, is racist. The guy was born in Hawaii. A black guy is president. It's cool. Get over it. Just deal with it. There's nothing you could show these birther people that would shut them up.

I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.

Young, gay and stuck in Arkansas? Sounds like a horror flick.

I am always interested in an opportunity to learn something.

I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.

Where there is young people and vitality, you're going to find punk rock.

Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
