I do use my music to entertain myself, as indeed I use other people's music.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.

I have the integrity of a teenager and that's never going to be stolen from me. I'm the original virgin.

I don't believe in false memories, like I don't believe in false songs.

For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
