I'm not really a musician. I'm a performer and I love rock 'n' roll.

I'm not really a nostalgic person.

The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.

Life is like a roller coaster. It's never going to be perfect - it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it's all worth it.

I use drugs to work. I never use them to escape or for pleasure. When you turn to drugs, all you're doing is turning inside, anyway. I only use drugs for construction. It's like one of my architectural tools.

My mother had no end of tragedy in her life. She would make herself get up and take a deep breath and go out and do laundry. Hang up sheets.

I wish I could just project everything on the paper.
