I guess that's my defence, is like - even if people think it sucks - it's not me anymore, you know.

I'm really into the idea of playing sit-down drums again. I don't know if it'll end up that way, but as of right now, that's what I'm interested in doing.

I didn't grow up as a religious person under any sort of system or anything like that, I just felt like I've always been sort of intrigued by that - how it can make people's lives better - I mean, it's a powerful thing. So I was interested in thinking about that kind of stuff.

Doesn't every band sort of appropriate their influences into what they do? I guess that would be my defence: if you're making something, you kinda can't help being a conduit for other things.

I have no interest in making music solely for a white audience. If that's what our audience is, I don't really feel responsible for that.

At least for me personally, drugs aren't an essential part of having a surreal experience, or what you might call a higher experience.

I have a hard time with extreme imagery. Like I can't watch horror movies or anything like that.
