Santa Barbara is my hood. I mean, it's not much of a hood, but it is definitely like my hood. I claim Santa Barbara like I claim my family. I'm going to be married and buried there.

I missed out on the Spice Girls. I missed out on all those big pop phenomenon and missed out even on the Madonna records. It's okay, cuz I'm playing catch-up on everything now.

I'm an emotional person. I love music that moves me and makes the hair on my arms stand up. And I want the same thing in relationships. Either you can keep up or you can't.

Be yourself and you can be anything.

You can't be a full tranny every day of the week that's an exaggerated part of my personality.

This is the city that taught me how to write all of these cool songs. Yeah, you guys definitely need a royalty.
