I learned to see beauty in everything and ugliness in everything. I developed a very honest perspective.
You can’t be two people in your brain, one rock dude and a dad – there’s something in the middle of them, and that’s really what you are and that’s going to make you the best dad – not when you try to be one or the other.
I don’t know if commerce can every truly be information. I think that’s just commerce, that’s just selling you something.
I think that a lot of journalists don’t really listen to music before they review it.
You are gorgeous, whether you’re a size 4 or 14. It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you’re a good person, as long as you respect others.
Learning to be extremely disciplined has been the key for me. I work really hard during work hours and family really hard during family hours. Family does always come first though, in any situation.
Hey, girls, you’re beautiful. Don’t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise.
I would like to continue to make art by being able to do what I love and have that make it possible for me to support my family. I’d like to make people happy, show people a good time, and hopefully inspire some people.
I do a lot of research, I try to think about how it relates to music and I just do a ton of drawing. It’s much easier to work your ideas out that way.
I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn’t talk obviously... you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute... HA! I looked hot as a chick!
What I like about The Sims is that I don’t have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It’s fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don’t know why I picked that name; it’s kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favourite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She’s really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It’s pretty huge.
You only hear the music when your heart begins to break.
Anniversaries are lies if we forget why the confetti flies.
I saw so many kids who were bullied. I always wanted to stand up for them, but I couldn’t – I was a coward. So when I got old enough, I said I’m not going to be a coward anymore.
Keep your bad vibes out of my cornflakes.
Look alive sunshine, the future is bulletproof, the aftermath is secondary; it’s time to do it now and do it loud; Killjoys, make some noise!
I’ve been eating speed for the last three day and everytime I close my eyes I see centipedes.
Get up, get out, and be social. – from his song “Don’t try.
Fear... Such a prison. Such a poison.
I think a good leader knows when to listen, and how to inspire, not manipulate.
In other words, keep your bad vibes out of my cornflakes, I’m not interested.
