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 think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

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

Sometimes you actually get caught in the web of things where people are talking about... what kind of breakfast cereal you like.

If you're trying to do something different, you can't ask someone to help, because they'll want to make it not different.

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 like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.
