I am very suspicious of people.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

I make mistakes. I say stupid things. I do idiotic things. And, quite frankly, I'm proud of them. Why not make mistakes?

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.

I was brought up in many different cultures, moving around all the time, and I find my identity in my songs. I project the identity I want to have throughout the songs that I write.

When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.

I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.

The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.

An actor shouldn't have to leave the set and go home and write a bunch of stuff for a bunch of other people, the next day. I found it very unpleasant.

I'm sorry but I've been on my own a long time. I don't know what to talk when I bump into other people.

God has decreed that there be sick and poor in this world, but in the next it will be the other way around.

Every small group has at least one 'difficult' person in it. If you don't immediately recognize who that person is -- it's probably you!

Most recently, I learned another hobby: baking. It's so much fun to mix all the ingredients and to see the cake come out nice. It's so rewarding when the cake comes out great and tastes great.
