I Don't Want To Have A Gravestone. I Want To Have All My Friends Burn Me And Then Snort The Ashes. I Think That's The Only Way To Go Out.

Anything Can Be Misinterpreted. People Can Look At Christ On A Cross And Think, This Is An Image Of Murder, This Is Violent, This Has Sexual Imagery In It. And It Just - I Think It's My Job As An Artist To Be Out There Pushing People's Buttons And Making Them Question Everything.

For Me, It's Never Been An Ego Situation Where I Have Been "i'm The Boss; Expletive You." It's Always Been A Situation Where Someone Comes To Me And Says "i Can't Tolerate Working With You Anymore" And I Would Admit Sometimes I Wouldn't Blame Them For That. But I Also Sometimes Think I'm Not That Difficult To Figure Out. I Don't Really Know What Has Driven People To Be So Angry And Bitter - People Like My Old Keyboard Player Pogo, Who I've Known For Such A Long Time. I Feel Bad For Him, But There Are Grievances With Everything.
