I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.

I hate my voice. I've never been comfortable singing.

I don't think anyone knows anything and I don't trust people who say that they do. Don't give me a plan, give me action.

Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

The writing of the record didn't take long, because I just have a huge stack of papers and I just pluck from the stack. It took a long time because it's very expensive to make records; in fact, I think it's a complete rip-off.

I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.

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