I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence, crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age we're in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points he's made seem to manifest themselves all down the line.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

The only term I won't accept is "genius."

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

A lot of people can't be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

Everything that came later... the roots are all there in the first album.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
