The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.

I think good art does come from a dark place.

When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

I can't imagine that anybody is as screwed up as I am.
