I think most people try to get others to see through their eyes.

I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

Bob Dylan impresses me about as much as... well, I was gonna say a slug but I like slugs.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.

Playing 'bop' is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.

I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar.

We all need friends with whom we can speak of our deepest concerns, and who do not fear to speak the truth in love to us.

We live in a world bathed in 5,000 times more energy than we consume as a species in the year, in the form of solar energy.
