I grew up in a house of no love or emotion - it kind of sticks with you.

Most great records really start with the drums.

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

That was a terrible Super Bowl, I have to say. I mean you got the big Peyton Manning walk off into the sunset win, but what a shnoozo.

I started thinking that if post modernism is about people opening up all their skeletons, I'm going the other way. I don't want anyone knowing anything about me anymore.

I've seen foreigners really shift on their view of America, and that's hard for me to take.

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.
