I like Ministry, but I'm probably never going to make a song that sounds like Ministry.

Since I didn't spend a great amount of time on writing the lyrics, some people would argue that they're too vague or simplistic, but I think it's kind of good. I wouldn't say they're all stream of consciousness, but they're not necessarily overwrought.

I didn't try and say anything terribly meaningful. I'm definitely not a social commentator at all.

I make the music that I make because that's what naturally comes to me.

It always felt like I had to be a realist.

I don't place too much importance on words. It's always the last thing I do because I'm definitely more interested in mood.

I still write poetry from time to time, but my whole life is so music-oriented at this point that it's hard for me to even think about having other hobbies.
