My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic, but my mother, I believe, was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.

I think there's a danger with any great art, that if you begin to test your ideas on other people, and get their opinions before making decisions, or if you pay too much attention to what other people say about what you create, that it really pollutes your expression. I think that I'm much more about pure art and honesty and expressing exactly what I feel, and not caring so much what anyone says. However, I do respect, and I do pay attention to everyone's comments. And I do take them into consideration. But I don't base my decisions by it

Better pray for hell, not hallelujah.

Rock n roll is about drugs.

What doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar.

For me it's very important to express my thoughts, the pictures I carry inside of me, maybe because it's important to get them out.

I think that's all a form of wanting to let go, of wanting to get out... It's not something easily described or understood.
