Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

It isn’t hard to find a person whom I could fall in love with, to give her romance. But it’s hard to find such a person who would understand your view on life, accept who you really are and would truly care for you.

If you believe in what you're doing, you're going to make money. When you question it, you won't.

There's nothing that anyone could say about me that would hurt my feelings.

Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our necks, and we have just taken that for granted all of our lives.

This is the culture you're raising your kids in. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face.

I speak in reality. I don't try to hide anything from anybody, and that's the most dangerous thing about our music that parents are so afraid of.
