I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.

Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.

Motivation is just this potion to create stuff, a compulsion to express the truth of my own experiences in this life.

As long as there are religions, there are going to be people who are hiding their rottenness behind the veil of religion.

When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person.

I'm not a very good advice-giver.

I don't need a mirror to see that it's true, cause I'm ugly with a capital U.
