Billy [Corgan] and I used to spend quite a lot of time together in Los Angeles, when I first moved there.

Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.

I was raised a Christian, but I wouldn't call myself a Christian now. I think when I was younger it was easier to focus on the negative, nihilist vision... this is sort of picking up on the other half of the body, which is God and white light.

Jesus teaches us to forgive and I've got to trust him on that one.

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

I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.

I'm an experimental artist in a field that doesn't celebrate experimentation. It celebrates self-destruction, which I guess you could say is a creative endeavor.
