I'm doing what I'm doing; it doesn't really matter what happens as long as I know I've got someone to perform to - as long as there's a crowd there and my true supporters are buying my albums."

- "Parents let their kids watch people making love on the TV, but they can't listen to a song with the F-word in it. Kids are going to hear it anyway."
