I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

Music is energy, and energy is the single most important form of it in the world. Without energy, there is no life. The only difference between a dead person and a live person is the energy, the electricity flowing inside their system, and that's what makes music.

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

And if a few other people come along who discover my music because they in some natural way come across my music, cool.

I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.

Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification.
