I get so into playing the bass. The only time I ever feel the same way is when I'm having sex; it's the epitome of unifying with something.

For me going solo meant freedom to collaborate and do whatever I feel I'm good at doing. For me it was really not ever expanding as an artist, developing everything from my songwriting to my singing to my mission statement to my vision. I've been so inspired by all the creative freedom that it brings that I have no complaints.

I don't like to be afraid. I'm afraid every day, all the time.

I mean, I grew up with pretty down-to-earth, atheist parents, but I was born a Pisces.

I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks.

This planet Earth, the act of putting a roof over our heads, our flesh and blood existence, it's all very temporary.

But everything you do in life has a downside.
