As a kid I just felt like an outsider.

I usually wake up far after breakfast. So I have no other choice but to go straight to dinner.

I care about the people I know and love the most, but I also care about what the people I don't know think in the sense that I want them to think and understand me in a certain way. I don't base my life around either one, and I don't change the way I live to please either set of people, but I do care.

But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.

People drink to numb the pain and suffering. I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.

My fans make me feel as young as they are. We share the same spirit and I share their outlook on life

Once I threw a water bottle from the stage into the audience, and it hit Tony Bennett in the head. It was a special moment for me.
