I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.

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

I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.

Watching movies is my one distraction.

I do have a lot of sexual imagery in my performance. But I don't think it's ever encouraging anyone to have sex. I think I just show my own sexuality, but I don't think I've ever really written about having sex or anything like that.

I view my job as being someone who is supposed to piss people off. I don't want to be just one-of-the-guys. I don't want to be just a smiling face you see on television presenting some vapid kind of easily-digestible garbage.

It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record.
