I much prefer being in the studio or on stage and staying out of the mainstream really.
There have been times in my life where I was asked to do things and I didn't feel comfortable with it.
I don't objectify myself. I hate looking at pictures of myself, they're usually awful.
I used to make all my clothes when I was in Southern Death Cult [the first incarnation of The Cult]. I still make things to wear on stage and I am involved with sketching, choosing fabric, cutting.
You get paid and you get venerated and worshipped for pretending to be somebody else.
I've tended to lean more toward the Dalai Lama and people like Russell Means who have been my political and spiritual North Stars, but I certainly regard Nelson Mandela with great respect and humility.
