My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

Yeah, I really like being alive. But I definitely don't have any intentions as an artist.

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.
