I really wanted to be on Six Feet Under as a corpse. That would be hysterical.

Love, love will be my strongest weapon

The artwork for the record is kind of an homage to that. It's a collage, which rhymes with homage, I just realized. It's an homage to this kind of almost like a teenager's idea of what the future might look like, if he were using a Xerox machine and cut-and-pasting it together. Which is exactly what we did to come up with the artwork.

I'm not homosexual, I'm not hetrosexual, I'm just sexual.

When I write, I tend toward melancholy, and the few times that I've tried pure joy in music, it doesn't really work that well. The joy can be through catharsis. I think that's what I do well, and observation.

I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age, it tends to get categorized and labeled, and I think labels are for food. Canned food.

Sometimes before we make a record I go back and listen to a few. It's equally humbling and uplifting.
