You'll understand when I'm dead.

Man's greatest fear is chaos.

I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.

Anybody who does not evolve can become a self-parody. I have to evolve on a daily basis just to keep my own interest in what I do.

If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.

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

My feelings are, if you're gonna lead a rock n' roll lifestyle, don't let it affect your work. I know I can stay up all night and still come in the next day and write a song, and nothing will stop me from doing it. I expect the same from everyone else.
