For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.

I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.

I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.

I need punk rock. It's the medicine for me, but it's bitter and sickening. If you don't need it - if you're happy and healthy - run toward that.

I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.

You gotta have friends, and it's really hard to have friends that don't operate on the same schedule as you or do the same kind of things you do, because they don't understand it. And then you realize that your friends - your real-life friends - it's not that they become fanboys of you but they become more interested in what you're doing than how you're doing.
