I absolutely refuse to bare midriff.

If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that. That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground.

I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.

You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted.

I have loved music so much from when I was little and I don't know whether it was because I saw my dad doing it and then I got the idea, I don't know what came first... But I always had a hairbrush in the mirror singing. I was always with him backstage; I would go out and be pulled in for the last song.

Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now.

I did go through a Goth thing, but that was a long time ago. I just like artists that shake it up, that piss people off or make people think or rattle the cage somehow.
