I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

From day one, I was already famous in my own head. It didn't take anything to make me feel that way. I know I'm totally not famous. I mean, it just depends on your perspective.

I'm a product of my environment.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

The music usually occurs to me as a complete sound, and then I have developed the skill of being able to translate that into a fully realized song.

If somebody ever says something is a mature theme, it's bound to not be. I mean, you shouldn't fall for that. You can make it sound mature, but anything that's about being mature is pretty immature.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.
