I don't wait on the music industry to qualify me or give me my paycheck. I go about my business as an artist and I believe that my value is in my product and in my art form, and that's why I can't be stopped, because I began producing my record by myself, without a record company.

I'm always working on concepts and ideas for the future.

Sometimes to realize you were well, someone must come along and hurt you.

I mean, gosh, my first tours I ever did were with the Ramones and Iggy Pop and Love & Rockets.

If you're not part of the freaks, you're part of the boredom.

You have to take risks.

I want to be more like the ocean... no talk and all action.
