I'm most comfortable on stage.

I'm not harmful, just introspective. You can probably think I'm weird, but it's not harmful weird.

The Ninja, as you know, operates by stealth. And so, case in point: I put out records... no one hears them! I make videos... (whispers) no one sees! I go on tour.... (whispers) no one knows! NINJA! I was never here!

I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.

I never had any interest in being involved with the Boy Scouts.

No time for drug addiction, no time for smoke or booze. Too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose.

Whenever I write lyrics, in the back of my mind I always see a guy driving to work, driving to a really bad job, one of those horrible institutions, or one of those low squat buildings in Los Angeles. I write with that person in my mind.
