"He was caustic, cynical, bizarre, and unpredictable. His irony was fierce, but in my opinion it hid a mysterious side of him that he didn't want to reveal. His fragility, his deep melancholy, which he didn't want to show. And that was his charm. He dressed in skirts, he was crazy, but that's how he was. His eccentricity wasn't ostentatious, he was just naturally eccentric."
