My music is very innovative, in a class by itself. Nobody else is saying anything of value. What I'm trying to do is get people to think, to alter their consciousness. It's not your typical platinum formula for success.

I never strike out at any life form. The only things I attack are icons of conspicuous consumption. People put objects in front of their life, in front of anything that has real importance. They make this 'thing' their God.

Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.

It's not that I don't value my life. It's just that I love taking chances, testing myself, stepping over the line.

Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else.

I'm trying to encourage more women to be themselves, rather than what men want them to be. I don't believe in patronizing either sex.
