After I reached my teens I decided I didn't want to hang out with anyone. I couldn't handle the stupidity.

Vadalism: beautiful as a rock in a cop's face.

Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, so let's all get wasted and have the time of our lives.

There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.

I write poems for myself and I write poetry that gets torn apart and becomes songs. I have a lot of respect for words, the power of words.

If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.

I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.
