I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.

I am working on current material, a new album, and that is all still my main motivation of going out and working. We haven't gotten rid of all the new stuff in favor of the old.

I am not a technophobe and I am using the latest technology today, some 30-odd years later, and I am really enjoying what some of the new technologies can offer. But at the same time I am always aware that one can get bogged down in that technology and that it can become more than just a method. That's something that you have to be slightly careful of.

I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

Obviously, they're all a gang of idiots. But, you know... live and let live.
