It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.

I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.

Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.

When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.

Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.

I don't believe in magic ... I don't believe in Jesus ... I don't believe in Buddha ... I don't believe in Elvis ... I don't believe in Beatles.
