I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

But you know, I'm the negative-Nancy, curmudgeon, glass-half-empty-with-a-leak-in-it guy - which is basically the fuel that fires me up anyway. Without that, we wouldn't have me.

If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.

Once you take yourself too seriously the art will suffer.

After all, in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands.

People get upset and it becomes an excuse to treat other people a certain way,but if you really step back, you realize what you've left behind.

I think people in general have neglected to learn about history.
