I tend to over extend myself without really thinking throughthe realities of completing so many projects in a year, which generally means I'm going to be a little bit behind. I suppose that's the nature of the beast.

In fact, many musicians are the happiest when the artist and audience re-interpret or re-imagine the content of the songs.

I take myself seriously and want my image to me more than just something aesthetically suited towards selling records.

It's my intention to make something stand outside the realm of album art, but it also feels comfortable to me to be in it. It's tricky and definitely a requires striking a delicate balance.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

If you want to create something that's worth doing you have to self-edit from the get-go. You really must be careful and selective with whom you work, you must constantly ask yourself the hard questions about your art, and you must set a nearly unattainable standard for yourself.

Punk rock and metal has always been a home to me, it's where I cut my teeth; and those are the friends that I have, and the bands that I love.
