I think what 'The Monster' means to me is I find it really hard - like a lot of other people in the world - to really be OK in my own skin. It was a message to myself saying, 'It's OK that you're not perfect.' I'm gonna learn to love myself and accept myself, even though I'm a little crazy.

I seem to be the most wordy when it comes to monsters because I'm a bit of a monster freak.

I've created such a monster.

If you battle monsters, you don't always become a monster. But you aren't entirely human anymore, either.

The best monsters are our anxieties given form. They make sense on the level of a dream - or a nightmare.

Monsters almost always are culture's way of working out their fears and are thus inherently incredibly interesting and powerful.

I was a monster, a problem child.

Success is not in what you have, but who you are.

I do believe that there are monsters out there - and that they are monsters.

Success is a completely abstract thing - it has no bearing on daily life, family matters, the matter of artistic creation, but it can affect grace, and if I lose that, I really have gained nothing from success.
