Life can be cruel. It´s been my struggle, my personal battle, my obsession to make people see that different isn´t always bad.

It's about what happens on stage, whether we can deliver it in a hungry way that is who we are in our hearts.

Raw and honest is what I go for [in my style of shooting]. I am looking for your inner beauty. The outside tells a story... But together is raw honesty.

For me, I never knew what addiction was. I just knew my heroes, like [New York Dolls guitarist] Johnny Thunders, did heroin. I didn't have a father, it looked good to me. If I had read Johnny Thunders' book The Heroin Diaries, I don't think I would have done heroin.

It's physically very, very, very trying to be onstage as a performer, not unlike an athlete, for thirty years.

If you don’t deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it’s gonna hurt.

I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I'm trying to listen!
