I don't really write for fun; it's not an enjoyable experience. For me, art, or whatever the hell it is I do, has always been a refuge from that which makes me want to tear my lungs out. That's why I play like I play; I'm not into entertainment.

I like people. Rightwingers don't. They like business, they don't care about people. I like education, they seem not to care much about it.

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul.

You want to meet a bunch of really friendly people? Go to a Slayer concert. There'll be some real psychos there, but most of those people will take care of each other.

If you really want a true confrontation, you treat your opponent with respect.

Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.

I'm constantly around people that talk a lot but say nothing. A sad case.
