"Issues deals with the issues I had, the fears I had and it isn't a 'nice' album but fears and depressions are not particularly nice."

"I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am."

"Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized."

"I don't know the true meaning of happiness."

"When I listen to music, I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction."

"Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth!"

"I don't like painting flowers in my music. I like painting guts and pain."

"I don't believe in organized religion - I dealt with them hand in hand, and a whole bunch of Catholic priests tried to molest me. Telling me I was gay and I should go home with them and stuff."

"I like reading Ball Tongue lyrics and all that stuff. And they published a book, and I wouldn't give my lyrics, and it's all wrong in the book, and I giggle. It's funny."
