The sexuality of children - there's a lot friction there. That tension interests me a lot.

I got involved, for the most part, in the actual song construction, lyrics even. I didn't want to write the lyrics, but if there was a howler in there, I definitely pointed it out. Just trying to bring it up to a higher level. Of course, after a couple records, people get fed up with that. That's fine.

I like loud electric guitars because I like how you can just lose your entire being in the sound.

I don't want to sound like everybody else.

I don't throw my body down on the stage at all anymore because I'm sure I'd snap like a twig.

It wouldn't interest me to try to sound like Cop or something. It would be silly and soul-crushing.

I really wanted to get to the animal core of rock music and eliminate anything that wasn't necessary.
