• I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.

• And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer God... They'll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.
