"I was wearing black
clothes almost from
the beginning. I feel
comfortable in black.
I felt like black looked
good onstage, that it
was attractive, so I
started wearing it all
the time.

You've got to know your
limitations. I don't know
what your limitations are.
I found out what mine were
when I was twelve. I found
out that there weren't too
many l imitations, if I did
it my way.

God gives us life and takes
us away as He sees fit.

Success is having to worry about every
damn thing in the world, except money."
