I’m under stress. They killed me on wikipedia. They killed me. And I didn’t stay dead long enough to sell no DVDs. I didn’t even stay dead long enough – I was too stupid. I should’ve stayed low.

I grew up sort of lower working class. And I just didn’t want to have the money struggles that my parents had. You know, I could just – as loving an environment I grew up in – and I grew up in a great home, a very loving home – but, you know, we had that stress. We had that stress in our life.

Being an individual takes effort. Most people are pretty lazy. And that’s OK! I mean, there are more important things than fashion. If it’s going to stress you out to have a sense of style, don’t do it. The important thing is to be comfortable so you can get on with your life.
