There's something scary about the unknown. And maybe the scariest movies couldn't ever be made because they are too deep in somebody's head, too unknown to get out.

I love electronic music as much as I love something that sounds like 'Pullhair Rubeye,' or something a little bit more organic than that.

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

An important meeting point for me was realizing the similarity between a DJ set and a Grateful Dead set: I grew up listening to how the Dead would take a song and just jam on it, and then transition into another song.

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.

I definitely didn't have a lot of money. I had been fired from a record store. I was just trying to get by. I was on unemployment. I didn't have anything going full-time.

I always thought it was important for my lyrics to come from a really honest place.
