I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music, especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.

It's the whole Nietzche philosophy of you are your own God. That's why I debase myself in the concerts and tell people to spit on me. I'm saying to them 'You are no different from me'.

I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.

When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.

I speak in reality. I don't try to hide anything from anybody, and that's the most dangerous thing about our music that parents are so afraid of.

I've seen my own death in dreams like this and it's helped me appreciate life more. I've also seen my own life in dreams and it's helped me appreciate death more.

If you're gonna pretend to be something, then you have to at least live up to what it is.
