Personally, I can't see how anyone can produce any beautiful music out of being angry.

The type of band that I have now, the type of music that we're playing you either like it or you dislike it. If you dislike it, you probably don't know why. By the same token, you can't even really say why you like it.

For the last five years I've been in the production business.

And I'm happy to say that I'm able to find people wherever I go that are not black, not white - they're just human beings. That's where I am, where I've been and where I intend to stay.

Luckily, I'm in the position now of being able to play purely because I have the desire to do so.

Musicians have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.

I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything have one primary concern - mankind.
