If you find yourself perplexed, or perhaps in a quandary, remember that human growth is perpendicular. We grow up and we grow forward, we just have to keep on growing steadily in both ways.

Whenever I get upset, I remember that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4 to stick up your middle finger.

I'm a guy so I equate vulnerability with fear.

Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far, did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star, and don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who you are?

I think the work is always personal. This album differs. It seems to be a lot more positive. It seems to have a certain amount of optimism about it.

It's such a thrill to perform live. You never know if you're going to get hit with a bottle or a bra.

I don't like critics; I really don't like them. I think most of them are ignorant and don't have a clue!
