I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.

When I was growing up I was an atheist, then an agnostic, and then I had a good eight or ten years of being quite a serious Christian.

I'm straight, but I love going to house music clubs and flirting with women and gay men.

People have always been resistant to change. If you go back to the 17th, 18th century, playing guitar was frowned upon. When rock n' roll first started, no one took it seriously.

These new metal bands are going out, getting drunk and going to strip clubs, and they'll be doing the same in thirty years. There isn't even an interesting self-destructive quality to it . . . it's just dumb.

I feel like people might be slightly less inclined to hate me as much as they did in the past, and I think part of that is selling fewer records.

As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.
