That was the problem with the 'celibate' word because they don't consider for a moment that you'd rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person.

Disappointment came to me, and booted me, and bruised and hurt me, but that's how people grow up.

My parents were worried about me, certainly when I became so deeply interested in music and people like the New York Dolls who, at the time, were very peculiar indeed.

I normally live in Los Angeles, if you can call it normal living.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

Shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you'd like to.

There's more to life than books you know, but not much more.
