At 23, you can completely, literally reinvent yourself if you want to.

The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.

Normal adult shopping is something I will never actually do, because it's no more possible for me to go shopping like normal adults do than it is for a man with no legs to wake up one day and walk. I can't miss shopping like you'd miss things you once had. I miss it in a different way. I miss it like you would miss a train.

There are real teachers out there; I don't pretend to have their mantle.

It's hard to stay positive when there's a lot of evil in the world.

People want you to play the songs they know. I try not to reflect too much, and I don't really like to focus too much on myself.

I like a lot of hardcore, but it's just a genre about which I don't have much to say. It's kind of a thing where, unless you're active in the hardcore community, what could you have to say of value about it? It resists criticism because it's not just a style but an entrance into several different worlds of ideas- political, philosophical, societal. The music is really only part of the whole scene. In that sense, the music doesn't change much because it shouldn't: It needs to be there as a signal that you're entering into a certain discursive mode, maybe.
