Image and music always works together for me. I think they're equally important and I've always done things in a way that people remember them by, but I don't set out to just shock people...because that's very easy, a lot of people could do that, I just like to do things the way that makes me happy really. And sometimes that's too much for certain people, but, you know, I try to push the envelope to make the boundaries wider as far as what you can and can't do in music.

The point is that life for me is not going to be the way it is for everyone else. I have a fog machine and movie lights in my bedroom.

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.

I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them, so that you're not always taking things for granted.

I don't think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves.

Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.
