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.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

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

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

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

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I didn't expect us to be around after 25 years.
