Supposedly I'm impossible to talk to. But it's honestly not me being difficult. Sometimes you just don't have a lot to say.

I can be a bit grumpy. Im full of angst, and hormones.

Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation.

I don't really have disappointments, because I build myself up for rejection.

I think all teenagers feel alone, and that nobody else knows what they are going through and all that sort of stuff.

I think if you set yourself specific goals, that's quite a lot of pressure.

I was really in to shiny things when I was younger and I stole a shiny tag for my dog. I didn't get caught. I hope I don't go to jail for that.

If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food.

Anybody who has a problem with 'Skins' obviously doesn't understand teenage life.

I think interviews can be fine. It's just there's this terrible fear of coming off wrongly or saying something that gets taken out of context.

I don't want to share my worries - that's for me to know.

Peace, love, and chicken fingers man...

I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.

They cannot imagine what I'll sound like. But always when I'm done singing, people are very surprised.

My wife wanted to call our daughter Sue, but I felt that in our family that is usually a verb.

A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.

I am not a keyboard person. The mouse is better.

The end (goal) of art is to figure the hidden meaning of things and not their appearance; for in this profound truth lies their true reality, which does not appear in their external outlines.

I have been photographing people dancing for 20 or 30 years now, and I think I will eventually do a book of dancing photos.

It's important for me to have strong hair in case someone pulls it and tries to rip it all out.

I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
