I am definitely less and less interested in music made by people that exist today, people that are living. I just see them as part of the whole stupid process of the music business, desperate (even if they feign indifference) to get noticed, trying to "make it" in the stinking music business, to become "famous" etc, and it disgusts me.

Maybe in the future I'll put out someone's one-off project, but generally I don't have time.

I'm pretty confident that people are going to come along for the ride. If they don't, tough.

The music takes you. It has to be alive. It's like you hammer something, and the way it happens to bleed leads you into new directions.

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

When I drink a Glass of water, it's thick and crawling with life. My mouth leads to the interior of my body - a caldron of disease, germs, and perversions of biology. I don't exist individually. I'm made of millions of living creatures, eating each other, decomposing, eating each other.

I never wrote poetry, just prose. I don't really consider songwriting a form of poetry either. The words are important, of course, but they're dependent on the music.
