Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality

The only goal is in the process. The process is the thing…with little flashes of light here and there. Those are the gigs, those are the live shows. But it's the life in between—that's all I got.

I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

Music is my mother and my father; it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.

I like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?

I want to be ripped apart by music.

I've already created my own thing.
