There's a certain group of people who are always going to dislike me and disagree with whatever I say.

The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.

Society has traditionally always tried to find scapegoats, well here I am.

Everybody feels like [a misfit] at different points in their life. If you feel like who you are is right for you, then you are beautiful.

People expect me to me a 'shock rocker,' but there's nothing you can do anymore to be shocking.

People are very surprised to hear me say that a lot of my values are Christian values. I think that's part of my shock. I just don't like the way that Christianity combined with the influence of television has bred a nation of weakness. (Christian television do get the facts wrong sometimes and the image they portray turns most people off.)

I'm absolutely not looking for someone who agrees with me about everything or someone who wants to please me by believing what I believe.
