I don't mind saying what's on my mind.

Sometimes you've got to draw a line between having all the options and being a slave to the things, using them every time you play the guitar. I'm trying to keep a real inconsistency to the pedals so that it is something new every time.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums, unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife.

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.

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.
