As a homosexual, my job is simply to sodomize mediocrity.
What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?
I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.
I've always said I write albums; I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.
When I go on a nostalgia trip it's not aesthetic. For me it's about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I've experienced in the past personally.
