Sometimes to realize you were well, someone must come along and hurt you.

Music is always my great escape... I get to be that wild child and do whatever the hell I want on stage.

Some people should die that's just unconscious knowledge.

Jimi Hendrix's music was escapism.

Without game, men prey on each other.

I mean, gosh, my first tours I ever did were with the Ramones and Iggy Pop and Love & Rockets.

The formats have changed so much, and even if you look at alternative music today, most of it isn't really that alternative. It's just good, strong, modern music.

I'm looking to evolve the concept of the new renaissance artist, taking the world by storm through the art of public display and demonstration, with technical savvy, using cell phones and computers.

I don't wait on the music industry to qualify me or give me my paycheck. I go about my business as an artist and I believe that my value is in my product and in my art form, and that's why I can't be stopped, because I began producing my record by myself, without a record company.

I love being able to escape my past, even though my past was great.

I want to be more like the ocean... no talk and all action.

If I had my way, I would have sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll at least 4-6 hours a day.

You've got to look at yourself as what I call a lifer. You're going to be out there playing music your whole life, in a live situation. That's what sends me out into the world, and as I see this beautiful world, I want to do more and contribute more, and stay in a position to do more and contribute more.
