First, before I'm an artist, before I'm a celebrity, I'm a human being.

I will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me.

I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.

Silence is our enemy, and sound is our weapon.

I always carry my classic black-and-white tux and custom-made George Esquivel saddle shoes.

It's hard for me to be serious. I can't really rub oil on me and go all the way with it [laughs]. I hear some screams and I laugh to myself. I always get a kick out of it. I'm three feet tall, basically.

I'm inspired by the words: 'electrifying', 'epic', 'minimalistic', 'transcendent', 'timeless' and 'rock n' roll.'
