Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.

Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo.

I think that gay people should have the right to get married by Elvis like everybody else.

I've spent so much time feeling ugly and being treated as ugly as a result. But I changed my attitude and said, “I’m beautiful because I love everybody as much as I can. I’m beautiful because I have wonderful friends. And I’m beautiful because I say I am. I’ve earned it, and I’m gonna be it.

My attitude toward peace does not depend on which war we are discussing. I think that words should do the work of bombs.

I am star-struck but also I've known a lot of people for a long time. Like I'm super star-struck by Grant Lee Phillips and Jon Brion but I've known them for 17 years. So it's kinda like weird to be star-struck still, but I still am!

The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.
