Quote

If you can make someone laugh and cry and feel like they can take on the world, ultimately that's the field of entertainment I want to work in. It's the human experience. There's moments for cuddling a small cat and moments for throwing the cat around the room and running around in circles with it.

[on 'conspiracy theories', including charges that he has allowed other performers to stand in for him] You know, the whole problem with a lot of this stuff and the reason been trying - and I've been trying - to deal with it in different ways is that a lot of these things that people have run with were based initially on some kind of truth. And that's what makes them harder to either completely deny or turn away. But it's never been anything - what's the word - 'malevolent'.

First album, I Get Wet (2002). The cover caused problems with censors because the cover shows W.K. with a badly bloodied nose and the blood oozing down his mouth, chin, and neck. As a result, a black sticker was put on the CD shrink wraps to cover the bloody area.
13
Caused some problems with censors with his second album's working title, Blow Your Bone. The censors thought it was a sex-orientated title, but he claimed it meant blowing up chicken bones with explosives and that the title doesn't hint at anything sexual. The title may be changed before its release.
