I like to write about things that are dark or twisted. Where the poetry seems to be is when you start in the dark and reach for the light - that's what makes it not depressing to me.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I'm not politically correct; I never said I was.

I'm not a militant, drug-taking freak! I'm sensitive.

I'm not so much of a joiner.

I break my back for music because it's something that I love, but I'm not going to break my back for a bank. I wouldn't want to be an ATM repairman; there are some things that just aren't worth it.

I'm just going to put out three or four releases a year and make it so that if you like the Desert Sessions, then you'll definitely like everything else.
