Well, in order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times.

I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and alone.

I just want to keep writing music.

I do not accept any less than someone just as real, as fabulous!

I think it's absolutely a blessing when you just know what your purpose is and your destiny. I don't think it's a curse at all.

There is nothing Holy about hatred.

I’m not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f*** off.
