I think people who come from abuse and/or people who have mental illnesses, have terrible self-esteem problems.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.

When I kissed you, you didn't mind. I thought I tasted of too many cigarettes, but you tasted like wine.

There's a weighing kind of overemphasis on sexuality, which disempowers music generally, because it silences all the other voices; it makes music a very powerless force for changing the world.

God is something that needs rescuing from religion.

I only feel better because people aren't being so abusive to me about my weight.

I have also Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and I wouldn't have survived that if not for music. So I think for me, music was a soothing thing and it was also a place where you could say all the stuff that you couldn't say anywhere else.
