I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

Music can be so manipulating - especially in terms of horror. It's such an important part of building the tension.

I didn't really know why I wanted to go to college. I didn't really have a reason to go there other than the fact that everybody else was doing it.

Hell is a swamp, to me - not as something fiery, but as something dank, moist, and wet.

It's not so much a philosophy as much as it is a pace. We need to be personally involved with every aspect of the records including the artwork, we want everything to have a similar aesthetic.

People seem to think that folk music is people with acoustic guitars. Or punk music is people with mohawks, leather jackets.

Around the time I dropped out of college, I decided to start taking what I liked about short stories and apply it to writing songs - to make these things that would change and keep going.
