Whether it be Beyonce or Justin Bieber, we see singers who have absolutely nothing to offer anyone as they walk off stage clutching three Grammys in each hand.

Those Catholics, they really nab you when you're young.

I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.

And make no mistake, my friend, your pointless life will end; but before you go, can you look at the truth?

You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that.

I began to go to concerts when I was 12 years old. And I would stand there, the small imp that I was, and I would expect the world to be laid before me by these artists, and in some cases it was. So when I climbed onto the stage, I always imagined that I was singing to somebody who was similar to how I had been.

So the life I have made May seem wrong to you But, I've never been surer It's my life to ruin My own way.
