There are no uncriminal crimes.

When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things. I did it (the O-Z-Z-Y tattoo across his knuckles) when I was 14. I was in jail for something. I could have had it removed, but why? It's my trademark. People stop me and say, 'Let me have a look at your hand.'

I'm hoping to do a Broadway musical on the life of Rasputin. He's someone I can definitely identify with.

When I heard the Beatles, I thought thats it. That's what I want to be. I want to be a Beatle.
