"I'm Wesley Willis, I'm 36 years old. I play music and do art. I have schizophrenia. I have chronic schizophrenia. I had it since 1989. Roger Lee Carpenter asked me for $600. He told me, that if I don't give him the $600, he was going to blow my brains out. That's when I started hearing demons. I have three demons: Nervewrecker, Heartbrcaker and Meansucker. The demons tell me I'm a jerk, a bum and an asshole. I yell, I scream, I holler at people on buses - but when I'm with friends, it's a joyride. God gave me this rock music career to keep me busy. Back in 1991, I used to hit old people with folding chairs. Suddenly, I moved to the north side of Chicago, Illinois in 1992. It made a rock star out of me at last. I'm the daddy of rock and roll!" - Wesley Willis - Actors:
