  20. Q: You've been through a lot this past year - a nasty divorce from Dita Von Teese, a highly reported relationship with Evan Rachel Wood and a 20 million dollar lawsuit filed against you by a former bandmate. How you been dealing with it all?
    A: It's been a tough one to get through. It's started with finishing my record and then by no accident my bad year turned the corner a year after I wrote "If I Was Your Vampire" on Christmas morning at 6 am. I happened to be with Evan and my best friend Rudy, who's a magician who lives with me and helps me with my stage design. I was also with Twiggy after not being with him for almost seven years. I just knew that the year to come was going to be all about change and transformation. It started a couple of days ago, having played on stage again with Twiggy.

    Q: What was that moment like for you?
    A: It was as if time went backwards. We're right where we left off. The fire is back and burning in a way that I can't remember it ever being. I've aligned myself with the people who really love me and believe in me the most. We're a team - all of us. Romance, the band - all of it combined together. Now is the time to keep moving forward and to make a new record and to get things back that we had taken from us.

    Q: What impact did the separation between you and Twiggy have on both your careers?
    A: I think the separation did have its downside, both professional and personally. I think he went on to make music with other groups and I made two records that I really love without him but I think sometimes you need that separation when you've been so close to somebody. But if you're able to get back together again without the awkwardness it's a good thing. We're back to being like brothers. That's the way we've always been. I've lived with him for half my life.

    Q: What brought you and Twiggy back together again?
    A: Things happen for a reason. I was lucky. I could have waited until the current tour is over to get back together with him. But I felt like life is too short. It was fate that we ran into each other, so I felt we had to capitalize on it.

    Q: What influence if any did Evan have on your decision to reach out to Twiggy?
    A: I think she had a big influence, besides the fate part. Like I said, things happen for a reason. If I would't have run into Twiggy before the holidays I don't think I would have just decided to call him and get things back together. It didn't really cross my mind how much I missed my best friend. Although I give Evan credit for holding my hand while I walked through hell this past year, at the same time I had to really appreciate the fact that Twiggy and both still love each other as friends. The music almost comes second to the fact that we both needed each other back in our lives. Something was missing without it.

    Q: I assume you're referring to your ex-keyboardist Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. who is suing you for 20 million dollars in back pay.
    A: I'll just say there are people who are bitter about me getting my stink back and being in charge of my life. So when I read about all the people who are suing me, it just sounds very pathetic to me. You can have everything that I have if that's what is going to make you happy. But you're going to lose the one thing you can't put a price on....

    Q: Which is?
    A: My friendship. I was sold out so he could look better in the public eye. He sold me out so he could take everything that I worked for.

    Q: Are you concerned that you could lose everything you worked for?
    A: Right now, I feel like nothing can stand in my way. I'm not worried about any of it. I never really gave a shit what people think, anyway. It became unfortunate that I started to worry about that. I think that was a real sing that I was not around the right people in my life. I'm not the person who is supposed to care what people think. I'm the one who is supposed to be making people think.

    Q: Let's talk about your breakup with Dita. What influence did that period of your life on you, creatively speaking?
    A: The last record (Eat Me, Drink Me) definitely has a lot of what I was going through with every single lyric you hear. But now, I'm passed that. I'm back to being a rock 'n' roll band. I'm back to having the spirit that I began with. There's more of a wide agenda for all of us in the band. Everyone in the band has gone through personal things this year. Mine was more publicized, but everybody has gone through a lot of stuff. This next record is going to be about taking back what people robbed us of.

    Q: What do you feel were robbed of?
    A: Whether it be time or kicking us when we're down. That's why the next record is going to be very ruthless and very heavy and very violent. ...And I'm excited to make it.

  28. QUESTIONS for Jenny-my-mom's-friend =)

    I'm sure you're used to answering this one: what led you to become an organic farmer?

    I see you (do/do not) have a frame house in which to start young seedlings. Do you continue to use it throughout the summer (OR) Why have you decided not to invest in a frame house?

    Why did you decide to raise these varieties of hens? What attracted you about each breed?

    Let's talk about vegetables. What is the most needy vegetable on your farm? What's the most rugged?

    As a farmer, you are at the mercy of the weather. Do you ever get discouraged by early frost or too much rain? Have you ever thought about throwing in the towel? What keeps you going?

    About how many customers buy produce shares each summer? In your opinion, why is produce sharing such a beneficial system?

    Most organic farmers agree that it would benefit society if we were to go "back to the land:" that is, end the separation of cooked food and its growing process. Do you? Do you think agriculture ed. in schools is a good idea? Should it be mandatory?

    What is your opinion of the most recent Green Revolution? If oil prices go down, will we go back to our old habits, or do you think this new earth-consciousness is here to stay?

    What about the craze for organic foods? Many large companies are beginning to cash in on their popularity; some, no doubt, cut corners and obey the letter of the law while violating the spirit. Have you suffered any setbacks because of the cheaper organic produce now appearing on shelves?

    Critics of organic food often cite its price tag and its lower per-acre yields. Do you find this claim to be true? It's quality that counts, but can decentralized organic farms produce the same quantity of food as Big Agribusiness?
