If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.

I grew up in a house of no love or emotion - it kind of sticks with you.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.

I've always been spiritual but I've never had a proper context, and it took me awhile to find the proper context. It's hard to realize you can have any kind of relationship with God you want... and so I now have a punk rock relationship with God.

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
