People quickly forget that people are people.

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

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 did a lot of writing when I was in college, and that's what I thought I wanted to do; saying that I wanted to be a writer seemed more reasonable than saying I wanted to be a musician.

It was like an exponential weed. And people treated me as if I was an established musician. I wasn't.

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.

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.
