In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.

As far as the performance goes, I want to create an atmosphere, and use 5.1 sound and imagery and shape and form to transform the stage from one thing to another, as if you're watching a movie.

I've never written songs about relationships. I've written songs about how I feel. The songs are more about me, than another person. That's the way I like to look at it.

The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.

One hates what one fears.

If things are too perfect, people are always so afraid that it's going to change, so they ruin it themselves.

My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
