Don't say I hate institutionalised religion - rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I'm saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

Tonight love and hate met in St. Louis. And love outnumbered the hate, in poetic thousands. Hate left. But love stayed. + Together, we sang.

People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.

Then, when I'm in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it's all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.
