I am not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it.

No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it.

It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.

Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.

Rock & roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
