The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.

I didn't go to guitar school and I don't know how to play chords, but I can do it in my own way and I think sometimes that will piss off some guitar players who sit around playing their stuff all day long and then there are people who like that.

They'll just cut our wrists like Cheap coupons and say that death Was on sale today.

This is the golden age of grotesque.

Multiply your death, divide by sex, add up your violence, what do you get?

I'm completely unlike a lot of other performers in the past who have been forgiven or come to terms with the real world because they tell everyone their performance is 'just a show.' And so, people say, 'Oh, it's OK then. We don't care. He's not really a bad person.' It's not just a show for me. It's my life.

I don't want to feel like I've matured. That's a stupid word that I never want to use.
