For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.

When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.

Don't take it so seriously.

I was always talking about peace and love, even when I was a kid. That's how I grew up in my family.

Music, for me, is completely self-indulgent. I write it, I play the instruments, I arrange it, I produce it. It's all about me - as it should be.

None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better.... I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself.

Nine out of ten groups that came out in '89 are gone. I'm still here.
