Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.

I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not terribly insightful.

You can't find an uglier urban environment than the centre of Hollywood, but then you go to Griffith Park, you go to the beach, you go to the mountains, and it's rural. I live up in the Hollywood Hills and I have frogs, owls, coyotes, mountain lions - but I'm ten minutes from the centre of the city.

I love the fact that no one's ever bought my record because they were enamoured of the way I look. Maybe one person. There must be someone out there with compromised taste.

I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.

I feel like the vast majority of the world's problems would disappear if suddenly everyone on the planet were relatively self-aware and capable of honest self-love and compassion.

I was trying to convince myself I could learn to be gay - but no. That's one of my great regrets.
