When I recorded my first album, my ego didn't let me believe that what I was gonna say on the mic, anyone would really care about. But then when I found out that they did, I started to take it more seriously.

I've never read for a movie, I've always been given them.

Anybody who has anybody in the armed forces, I don't care how well-trained they are, there's nothing safe about it.

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.

I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.

You know, you'd hide behind a Public Enemy or Ice Cube, or Bruce Springsteen, or U2, because they spoke for you. But now everybody's bloggin'. I heard somebody say, "Blogging is just graffiti with punctuation." Everyone's an authority so there's nobody in power, 'cause everyone thinks they're in power.

If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
