I've been able to watch and to weather a lot of different periods in entertainment, politics and life.

If a kid is old enough to drive a car or buy a gun, isn't he old enough to be held personally responsible for what he does with his car or gun? Or if he's a teenager, should someone else be blamed because he isn't as enlightened as an eighteen-year-old?

I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.

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.

I was always trying to do different things to entertain people. And at the same time, I think, I was, whether subconsciously or not, trying to get kicked out of school because I hated it so much.

In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.

If you lose emotion, and you gain it back, you realise that hate and love are very important to distribute properly. So I'm not going to waste any kind of emotion on things that aren't related to me.
