I'd like to see anyone do what I do for one week.

My freshman year of high school I joined the chess and math clubs.

My father was a professor of civil engineering at MIT, and my mother taught high school English.

Between rounds of speed chess I read enough of a programming manual to teach myself to write programs on the school's DEC mainframe in the language Basic.

Death is a very important part of life.

My mind's a machine gun, my body's the bullets and the audience is the target.

My body is the rock and roll temple and my flesh, blood and body fluids are a communion to the people whether they like it or not

My demons, inner strengths and physical battles have guided me through life.

It's not so much wanting to die, but controlling that moment, choosing your own way.

You don't always just have to do an indie movie to feel like you're controlling it with a few people that you really have connected with, creatively. You can do it on a bigger scale.

Besides being responsible for myself, I'm now responsible for someone else. And I have to set the right examples. I have to really be someone that I would want my child to look up to.

Five years of Republicans' failed energy policies have resulted in Americans paying twice as much at the pump as they did in 2001, while big oil companies make triple the profits.
