There's always music sitting around, but when you're cultivating music, the idea of getting into a studio and compressing it to get something out on time can be really good.

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.

What I consider to be the barometer for what is a rock artist and what is not, is somebody who has a certain element of blues, even a hint of soul or blues music, derivative of African-American blues, folk, spiritual, or gospel.

I always played soccer in Adidas, but I always wore Nikes. I love street sportswear.

There have been times in my life where I was asked to do things and I didn't feel comfortable with it.

Peace on earth and good will toward men - that is something we need to work on. Like Nelson Mandela, we should learn from him.

I wasn't pursuing a musical career or anything. It just happened and then it was there.
