Everyone should have the right to go off and do their music or do their books. The people who are in the position to censor they're really not down to reality where that certain artists are coming from.

When I die, the world dies with me. I'd really like to leave it better than how I found it and I'm doing what I can to effect that.

It's good to be able to deal with it [anger] somehow other than drinking, fighting, crashing cars, hitting your kid, your wife, your husband, your whatever.

'Cause all the other ways do nothing but hurt people.
