A lot of religious texts make for good reading. That's why they hold up.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.

That's the thing about inspiration, it just smacks you upside the head, you can't plan for it. It comes like a stranger in the night; you never know when it's going to come or leave, and you just have to deal with the in-between moments because there's nothing you can really do about it.

I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

With death comes a choice. And death is a choice.
