I live between fantasy and reality at all times. In that way, I’m a librarian.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.

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 hope when I'm dead I'll be considered an icon, though.

I started when I was really young. I was playing classical music when I was 4 and when I turned 11 I started to write pop music. I guess you could say it was my intellectual evolution and my love of music began to change.

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.

I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.
