If you go into the eastern bloc countries we are huge, and in Russia. Maybe there is something about the depressing nature of our music and lyrics that some people find an affinity with.

I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.

I don't like to think 10 years down the road.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.
