Two weeks after having Bandit I was in a recording studio. I hadnt yet really fully understood what being a dad was and, man, I was exhausted. But she is 17 months now. Shes running, shes been running for a long time. Shes inspired me a great deal for the record. She even goes Wow Daddy! when I play to her.

The plan was that I was going to do comics, and then the music just cam up in my life and was a detour.

The world is gonna try to clean you up, what the f**k you gonna do about it? You're gonna say, "I wanna stay ugly".

All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story.

You're going to come across a lot of shitty band, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names beacause of what you look like or they don't accept you for who you are, I want you to look right at that motherf*****, stick up your middle finger, and scream F*** YOU!

The best thing about wearing black is that you can hide pretty easily, unless you're in like Hawaii, then you can't hide.

There's something very romantic about self-destruction and sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it.
