When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.

To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit

This never gets old, and when it does, I'll go do a movie. I like the fact that I can get into other projects because everything feels fresh when I come back to music.

I don't like LA. The majority just seem to be so artificial. Look at how they worship everything they think is fashionable. Isn't it sick?

I love my friends and family, but playing, that's my DNA.

One thing I can't do is do anything half-assed. I want to make sure everything is right, that the song is fully realized.

The darkness is coming now god dammit!
