Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.
I want to be a vampire. They're the coolest monsters.
I'm not psycho... I just like psychotic things.
So many people treat you like you're a kid so you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window.
Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. You can choose to dumb yourself down and not express yourself just so you can fit in, just so people won't dislike you.
Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.
Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably.
I wasn't bullied in high school, I was just ignored.

The clearest actions come from truth, not obligation.
Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves.
It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all.

There's something very romantic about self-destruction and sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it.
There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope.
The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial.
As free and crazy as we want to be, and how much we want to make the world a canvas, there's also a part of us that doesn't want to make any mark.
The more people that learn about you, even if you're an underdog, then you can come under fire a lot and the more attention you get and the more threatening or dangerous you appear to people. And the more people try to knock you down.
I'm a big fan of domino masks, like Zorro, or Robin. You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman.
I understand that kids look up to me, that some people might have gotten sober because of me.
