I've been fortunate to view the world as if Tom Cruise is constantly walking in front of me on his way across a tarmac before an aerial dogfight. I'm speaking cinematically here. The homoeroticism was an accident that I wont dismiss.

And when you're needing your space to do some navigating...I' ll be here patiently waiting to see what you find

I'm not always a positive person. I wake up grumpy, I read the newspaper and I get furious that the world is still at war.

I write my miserable songs. I write songs about disgust and self-pity. We’re all going to have bummer moments. That’s not the stuff I choose to share.

Creativity is a religion. When you get into it, you will find your life becomes more spiritual.

By the end of the writing process, which is about 80 songs per album, I look at the material and think, what's going to make a difference in someone's life.

The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophe.
