You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.

I have been a provoker and I'll probably always be one in the public arena for the rest of my life.

Basically I'm always singing about the same stuff whether it's in a loud or quiet outfit.

I never knew Kurt to be suicidal. I just knew that he was going through a really tough time.

I'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.

Anything lower than mid-six figures is not going to get me interested in that. And honestly, I just don't want to.

The pleasure of other people is a byproduct of the pleasure that comes from yourself so I cannot judge or look down on someone who does whatever they feel like doing.
