I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

I still love poetic imagery. I love the idea of using surrealist speak to generate lyrical content and I love the way English can be exciting in and of itself.

When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.

When you listen to most of the records that really had an impact on you, they always seem to be from a different era.

Avant-garde is the one area of music that has never changed. It doesn't mean anything.

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.
