I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.

Ш'm not cybernaut, this stuff's so foreign to me.

In my early days, I was about 145 pounds. I was really a starving artist; the poster child for starving artists.

What does a painter do? You get a painting, you put some intent and passion and emotion into these things, and hope the people will receive it. Same as a playwright. It's art.

I wake up in the morning, or the middle of the night when an idea comes through. My songwriting style, basically I just write down information given to me from the muse and how that works for songwriters. Record the muse and the muse delivers.

The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive…like I did when I was a homeless man.

I don't sit down to write a song, per se.
