I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.

Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.

I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.

I've never been interested in being relevant.
