I don’t like to read things that people write about me. I’d rather read what kids have to say about me because it’s not their profession to do that.

I don’t make changes to confuse anyone. I’m just searching. That’s what causes me to change. I’m just searching for myself.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.

I had enormous self-image problems and very low self-esteem, which I hid behind obsessive writing and performing. It’s exactly what I do now, except I enjoy it now. I’m not driven like I was in my twenties. I was driven to get through life very quickly.

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I’m not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.

I just tried everything out – I mean, everything. Even my sexual orientation; I was just searching for what I really wanted. And I didn’t quite know.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn’t think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older, you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that’s happening to me.

I re-invented my image so many times that I’m in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.

I realized the other day that I’ve lived in New York longer than I’ve lived anywhere else. It’s amazing: I am a New Yorker. It’s strange; I never thought I would be.
