Suffering is a big informer, a big catalyst for creation. You take your sadness, your despair, your sense of injustice, and you put it in your work.

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.

I think in some ways - only in some ways - but in some ways, rock and roll has let me down. It really doesn't leave you a way to grow old gracefully and continue to work.

Tears were for the weaker days, I'm stronger now.

Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can see and feel.
