I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.

I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.

I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound; if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier.

Rap is just to me very annoying.

We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.

When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.

Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.
