We talk about defining moments, but I think nothing can define you. They're all refining moments. You're constantly refining yourself and refining your life.

Watch our children while they kill each other with guns they bought at Wal-Mart.

A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about regrets because there's nothing I can do.

I have a face I cannot show, I make the rules up as I go.

I have a philosophy that everything you write doesn't have to be good for everybody. There are going to be people that get irritated by some of the things I write-including my parents. And then there are going to be people that you draw in because of the pointedness of certain things.

The only person who can save you is you: That going to be the thing that informed the rest of my life.
