I feel like there are messages. I feel like there are angels. I feel that there is a legacy and an energy. And I feel that it's possible to tap into that.

And I try to be as diplomatic as I can, but it always ends up being a psychodrama up there on stage.

I'm constantly tortured, and that's why I say happiness is irrelevant. Happiness is for children and yuppies.

We're not on the outside looking in, we're on the outside looking out.

You need to believe in something that's bigger than yourself. I think that's what everybody wants to believe in that.

I don't play favorites with people. My basic philosophy is that the only way to make the world a better place is by bringing something beautiful to every single person you run into at every moment of the day, so how can you play favorites with somebody?

One thing that I do ask myself when I'm in the creative process is, 'Does the world need this?'
