His dying seemed to give total strangers a sense of integrity they never had wanted while he was alive.

I just hope I don’t become so blissful I become boring. I think I’ll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.

I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships.

I’m gonna be a superstar musician, kill myself and go out in a flame of glory, just ike Jimi Hendrix

I wanted to move to Seattle, sell my ass, and be a punk rocker, but I was too afraid.

No, and I won’t be. I walked out of Kurt And Courtney [the Nick Broomfield documentary]; it made me feel dirty. The new film just seems to be skirting round things; it hasn’t been brave...

I won’t eat anything green.

Last Days … in part, fictional.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.

You know what i hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts.

If you’re really a mean person you’re going to come back as a fly and eat poop.

I feel this society somewhere has lost its sense of what art is. Art is expression. In expression, you need 100% full freedom and our freedom to express our art is seriously being fucked with....

We’re so trendy we can’t even escape ourselves.

The worst crime is faking it.

They laugh at me because I’m different; I laugh at them because they’re all the same.

Things have never been so swell, i have never failed to fail

I hate it when people take the things I say and turn them into something sexual. Just because it’s funny to them, doesn’t mean everyone is going to take it that way. And I don’t.
