"I don’t look to the outside. I’ve got so much inside of me that I need to say and do that I don’t really care what people think. If I did, I would have never done anything. Because there have always been walls around me of one kind or another, I really don’t think from the outside-in. If it’s inside of me, and I need to give form to it, I’m gonna do it and I don’t really don’t care if it will open or close doors."
