I could see myself as a glitter-hippie.

I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.

I've had a lot of tragic hairdos and outfits.

The reason that gets me is, and the greatest part of my job and what I do, is the humanity of it and there's certain moments where that really cuts through.

A few years ago my goal was to try and get the goddamned album made, which put me in a real bad frame of mind.

I walk into the studio and we're all so happy to see each other.

I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.
