When I'm dead and no longer the threat. My comfort is that all the great artists since the beginning of time have always been completely misunderstood and never fully appreciated until they were dead.

The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.

To me punk rock is thinking outside of the box, outside of the program, outside the establishment.

I think you can be defiant and rebellious and still be strong and positive.

I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.

I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl, I tried to be a mess.

One is that we are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. I am the architect of my destiny. You can`t blame other people for things that happened to you.
