It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.
I know that I'm dealing with some kind of wound through my music.
Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.
I had to do this album. I tried thinking, "I'm not going to do it." But then I'm sitting there getting all suicidal and depressed, and I just start writing. It's like this inner drive. If I could choose, I would probably be living in the countryside and be fine with that, but I'm not.
I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.
