I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.

Initially, I was very much concerned with having absolute control. But as time has gone by, I'm not. I mean, the whole first record was really just how I spent my free time: stoned and drinking coffee in my house, spending three hours on a song.

Visuals are as artistic as sounds, so being serious about both isn't a contradiction to me.

I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

It was sad when Sid Vicious died... I was freaked out when Phil Lynott died from Thin Lizzy. I cried. It was too crazy.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.
