"I was always a shy boy. I was always very introverted, and I found it very difficult to talk to people."

"I'm not a prophet. I'm just a guy who sings songs."

"I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, 'Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.'"

"I’m always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don’t even take what I am seriously."

"I'm not a role model. I'm a cautionary tale."
