Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.

I look at other members of my generation who have basically done one thing, and one thing well, and have been handsomely rewarded for it.

I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.

I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.

It's what the mainstream does - they absorb things and they blunt the power of it. And so the next generation and the next generation has to become more shocking and more provocative in order to get any rise out of anybody.

Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
