I get told all the time that I'm a fashion icon now, but I don't really know what that means. I just get dressed.

I'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships. I've got a couple close relationships with friends, a close relationship with my family, and a close relationship with my guitar. I'll know if the right person comes along, and whatever then - cool - but it's not something I'm seeking out at the moment.

I have my favourite black knife with me all the time. It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it.

I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes. You do get writer's block when you're writing music, and having inspiration from other great writers is great. You have to look for inspiration because sometimes music isn't the only thing that you can look at.

Edie Sedgwick had a cool style; she pushed the envelope for the time.

Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.

People misinterpret what I say all the time: They think I'm being offensive, when really, I'm only being opinionated.
