I was an avowed professional revolutionary by the time I was 15.

It's usually important to me to get my idea out first because a lot of times my ideas will seem weird to musicians.

A lot of what we say and do are regurgitated things that have to do with what we think we're supposed to be saying and doing.

What the media is playing is what people want is really a false idea. Capitalism and people who control the market have a large hand in everything. It doesn't have anything to do with figuring out what the crowd wants to hear. It has to do with the media deciding what they think people want to hear.

I just make music based on what I believe.

Sometimes it takes time to get into what ideas actually mean to you. Even when you're not writing a song, it's like that.

When my daughter was born, that was the first time I cried from happiness.
