Processed pig is white trash meat. Some people call it Spam.

I've changed the way I look at things. When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, "This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records." I have fallen into that trap before.

I suffer from manic-depressive disorder, and I've chosen not to take medication for it. Because of that, every once in a while I go through manic episodes and really depressed episodes.

Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust.
