The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It's worth being bashed against. It's worth getting scarred by. It's worth pouring yourself over every one of its coals.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I want to be ripped apart by music.

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.

The music can tell people everything they need to know about being human beings. It's not my information, it's not mine. I didn't make it. I just discovered it.

I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.

I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
