I'm glowing in the dark with my studio tan. I've been in a cave of music for months and months and months.

We definitely have a hardcore following.

I tried to take heavy metal... and balled it up and chopped it in half and really tried to create a new form of energy. I really tried to re-shape extreme music as I see it through my eyes.

I think music is a big, big wide world, and I am voyager on this particular ship in this sea of wild music, and I'm gonna dive in and find as many fish as I can and catch them all. I love music.

I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.

I guess I've never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they're great, don't get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians; great band; awesome harmony; great song writers; I just don't know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.

You're always going to have detractors, and you're always going to have people who love you, and that's how it's perfectly balanced and the world spins on.
