It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

It may seem strange, but the most grateful I've ever felt was when I was held up at gunpoint. After I handed over my wallet and the mugger ran off into the woods, I thought, 'Thank you for not shooting me.' I was overwhelmingly glad to be alive and unharmed.

A lot of my past is gone from my mind.

Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.

I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.
