Quotes:
Well, when I was little I used to be advanced for my age--in kindergarten I was reading books for sixth graders.

My mom. She really encouraged me. That's the trouble with education: Unless you have a really supportive parent, you get left behind.

It was very exciting. The fact that it was a handwritten manuscript makes it unique. Everything else that we have recovered had already been printed. This is a first.

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why - they kept the coffee pot, I got the dog. All that matters to me is that I can continue to make irritating music which will baffle and enrage.

I've only been in the business, like, six months, but already I'm considered "difficult." It's hard living a life where you have to fight for what you want and what you believe.
