All day long the door of the sub-conscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.
I can show bands how to produce themselves. In the same way, many bands think you can’t make it without some fat cat in London or New York to manage you. That’s just crap. All you need is someone a bit older than you with a bit of business nous whom you trust.
We all know the stories about the Human Rights Act… about the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because, and I am not making this up, he had a pet cat.
Not to rag on myself, but when people say, ‘What does it feel like to be an icon?’ I’m like, ‘My dog does not think I’m an icon, my cat does not think I am an icon, my cousin does not think I am an icon.’ I have a really lovely group of friends, and I just don’t think about it.

I don’t think that we really know our animals. We think we do because we’re humans, and we think we can control things like that. We don’t know anybody that we love. It could be a girlfriend or a cat. I think we just have to be at peace with that.
What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.
I’ve always been a reserved cat. When I play sports, there’s people used to get mad at me because I didn’t hang out and things like that. I’ve never been that kind of person. Nothing has changed in that regard. I’ve never been posse, and all that. I’m a quiet storm.
I’ve got allergy pills upstairs in my room, and it says ‘For Cat Work’ right on it.
When I was five, six, I drew myself as a cat a lot, because I was obsessed with cats. And then, as soon as I took my first riding lesson, I started drawing horses.
