We live to avoid death, we exist to avoid unexistence

I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.

If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland.

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.

People ask how I learned to play bass with one hand. Well, with a face like mine, you learn to do a lot of things with one hand.

Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music.
