More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.

Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.

Under no circumstances do I ever want to see any part of me having sex! I wouldn't want to see video tape, pictures, in the mirror, nothing.

Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it's pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It's easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe

I'm a weird, bald musician who makes records in his bedroom and lives in the Lower East Side.

The most emotional part is when I go into my studio every day and pretty much never have an idea of what's gonna happen.

I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
