Too sick and freaked out not to want a bullet for every passer by, too sick and freaked out to breathe, too sick and freaked out to care, too sick and freaked out to think of anything but the annihilation of my mind and denial of my life. So sick and freaked out that I think everyone is my friend.

Nothing brings people together more, than mutual hatred.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

I think the U.K. is an amazing place and has been extremely good to me. Some of my favorite and most-listened-to bands are from England. I have met many good people there and have been in front of some of the most loyal audiences I have ever encountered.

I don't have talent. I have tenacity.

It is impossible, after a certain point, to go back to a previous way of life, a previous way of thinking.

I don't need music for the good times. I don't have that kind of need. Music doesn't serve me like that.
