“Freddie Mercury and Elton John are, like, two of the biggest Influences in my whole life. And probably always will be.”

I personally don’t do any hard drugs, because they get in the way of me getting to my base issues, and I’d rather get rid of the excess baggage than find a way to shove it deeper in the closet.

There was a much more self-destructive nature in ‘Appetite.’ It was a going-for-it-at-all-cost thing that worked then.

I guess I like who I am now. I’d just like to have a little more internal peace. I’m sure everybody would.

We take it for granted we know the whole story – We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines.

I’d just like to say that I have a personal disgust for small dogs, like poodles. I have some serious physical problems with them. Everything about them means I must kill them. I must.

We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.

In general I usually don’t really go by or live my life by a clock and outside of touring I don’t really ask anyone else to. It’s not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.

I feel I have a responsibility to myself, a responsibility to explain where we’re coming from. Because a song or the performance of a song is a lot like a work of art.

If I hadn’t had Freddie Mercury’s lyrics to hold on to as a kid I don’t know where I would be. It taught me about all forms of music… it would open my mind. I never really had a bigger teacher in my whole life.

I like to be real private; you don’t always want everyone around you – even when they like you.

If love is blind I guess I’ll buy myself a cane.

Let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.

I don’t even know my own phone number.

I like feeling a sense of unity with the crowd even though everybody might be thinking something different.

Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.

Regarding social media, I really dont understand what appears to be the general populations lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey its them, not me, so whatever.

Most of the people who oppose idol worshipping belong to TMC.

God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.

Fame, power, and gold, are loved for their own sakes – are worshipped with a blind, habitual idolatry.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don’t let him down.

If you look at me as a role model, I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t because an idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them and I don’t wish that on anyone to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark is lost.

My role models have kept on changing.

Eminem is the greatest, ever.

I have a portrait of Saint Thomas More in my office.
