I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

Tough boys running the streets, come a little closer. Rough toys under the sheets, nobody knows her.

In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping, hear the waterfall of women weeping. Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling, hear the prostituted children calling.

Give love, and keep blood between brothers

Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.

I believe rock can do anything, it's the ultimate vehicle for everything

Dance is the only thing that lets you lose yourself and find yourself at the same time.

Respect yourself. Try to remember that not everything in life can be perfect. You will make mistakes. That's inevitable. But you are not ugly. You will only be ugly when you behave in an ugly way.
