I don't necessarily do anything just for the money. I do it for the passion and I do it for the love, because I'm still hungry. So if I want to do music, it's not necessarily motivated because of monetary value. It's more about the passion and the love, and I think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.

I think every album you have to stretch further and further, give people another piece of you. But then I always try to deviate from the norm.

I don't want to be too over-exposed, but then at the same time I don't want to be too out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

It don't take a lot to make me happy. I'm not spoiled like that.

Of course I have bills to pay, but at the same time, it's more about the passion and the love, and I think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.

Lucifer, oh Lucifer, God of evil, you're the god of pain, the darkness is where you find your light.

Your fans, they count on you to make wise decisions and wise choices. That's why they're your fan base. If you continually let them down, they're going to go find someone else to be fans of.
