I related to 'A Clockwork Orange' in a personal way. I was a bit of a thug growing up. It's taken some reform for me. Thank God for artistry and creativity as an outlet.

So many of the bands that influenced me growing up were English, even if I didn't realise it. English pop ruled the world in the '80s!

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

All art stems from a place of alienation. Intimate and alone. Most people are oppressed by the opinion of others, but I was not that way. I was afraid of the repercussions of not doing what I was told to do, what I was called to do by a creator.

Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.

Success in business today requires real-time, mobile access to business opportunities.

All these people who say success changes people; well, no, it just magnifies what's there.

I don't associate success with happiness, and I don't take it to heart, like, 'Oh, I'm so special.'
