“Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Some cover holes-holes in walls, holes in lives. Some make holes-in wallets, holes in hearts...in negative space.”

“When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.”

“We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.”

“In a society where you are taught to love everything, what value does that place on love?”

“I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.”

“Hopefully, I'll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.”

“When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn't want to drown anymore.”

“Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised.”

“I have mood poisoning. Must be something I hate. ”

“I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means. ”

“I walked away exhilarated by my success, because there's nothing like making a difference in someone's life, even if that difference is a lifetime of nightmares and a fortune in therapy bills.”

“I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.”

“Music is the strongest form of magic.”

“I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.”
