They thought it was safe to ride on my brain, because they assumed that the goal of my journey was wealth. All their calculations rested on the premise that I wanted to make money. What if I didn't? Ayn Rand

Read all the interviews you want on them, it's just the media talking and you can't really get to know someone that way, obviously. Avril Lavigne
And I have a few friends that I think would go to bat for me no matter what. Flea is definitely one of them. Guy Oseary is one of them. Anthony Kiedis
