Rock & roll is not about what you play, it's about how you play it.
I grew up in a house of no love or emotion - it kind of sticks with you.
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Everybody can close their eyes, picture a dream house or a perfect place [where] they'd like to have a picnic. But actually creating it - how do you create something from nothing? Anyone who's creative understands that that's the magic, that's the alchemy.
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.
