You can sit back and be an overweight, apathetic piece of shit, smoke your dope and still survive because you have a right to life."

"I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it."
