The cross is a very powerful symbol and it symbolizes suffering, but it also is connected to a person who was loving and sharing and his message was about unconditional love. I tried to take a powerful image and use it to draw attention to a situation that needs attention. For me, we all need to be Jesus in our time. Jesus' message was to love your neighbor as yourself and these are people in need.

I'll flirt with anyone from garbagemen to grandmothers.

I always felt like I was a freak when I was growing up and that there was something wrong with me because I couldn't fit in anywhere.

I've always been interested in electronica, techno, trip-hop, that kind of music. The thing that bothered me about a lot of that music, though, was it seemed devoid of emotion. There wasn't a lot that felt personal.

I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.

I don't have a religion because I don't like that word religion.

My point of view and philosophy continues to change and grow. As the years go by you go through this evolution.
