I feel completely free to do whatever I want and how I want to do it. I feel unburdened by my past.

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

I'm not interested in pop art.

The Pumpkins love rock-and-roll, we absolutely love it, but we also think it's a flatulent, ego-serving kiddie playground. You can have your cake and eat it too.

The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I'm discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that's a good place to be.

I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.

Calm, open debate, and logical thought drive strength to its maximum effectiveness.
