It is just that I don't want a wife and I don't want kids.
From Henry Rollins
I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.
I need to do things on my own, need to be left alone.
I mean I appreciate fan mail and that the people like what I am doing but I can't answer it. If I would answer 25 letters a day I would be just a guy answering mail and not an artist anymore.
I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.
I want to change things for the better, just like everybody else.
I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
As long as I tell the truth I feel that nobody can touch me.
I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.
