For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.

In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.

I fall in love with everything I also hate everything. It’s very hard to be a misanthrope and a romantic.

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

I get shocked by people smoking cigarettes sometimes. i get shocked by watching talk shows. people's moralities are so far below what i would consider standard.

I think guilt is the biggest problem in America, people are always feeling guilty about being themselves. You can't say what you want because it's not politically correct. You can't look like you want because you, the people at the office aren't going to like you and so on.
