I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.

Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.

When I found out my mother wanted me to marry a rich man, I instantly didn't want any rich man.

If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.

I don't like the compression on compact discs. It's lacking in air, and it's lacking in majesty.

I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.

I do sometimes think I could have done without the drugs actually; that was a waste of time, and a huge risk. But then again, there's nothing I can change, so in a way regret is pointless.
