I hear heroin is a very popular drug these days.

There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.

The artist does not have to suffer to show suffering.

Sometimes I get ideas for lyrics in anyplace, but I work a lot in the studio. So I collect little bits of lyrics. I go through the box of lyrics I have and see if something fits.

I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.

My rule of thumb is, what Siskel and Ebert like, I don't, and vice versa.

Music as background to me becomes like a mosquito, an insect. In the studio we have big speakers, and to me that's the way music should be listened to. When I listen to music, I want to just listen to music.
