I have kids who buy tickets for my show... How could I take their money and ignore their problems?

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

I write music every day.

How can I protect something so perfect without evil.

I don't view interviewing as much of a performance. My whole life is in essence a performance but singing and dancing for television is an entirely different thing.

I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.
