I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.

We first fought... in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

Composing is what I love most from what I do. Each genre has a unique expression that you cannot supplant with another. All the records co-inspire each other though they are not tied conceptually in any way to another.

People always ask me 'do you think there should be more bands doing political music?' and I say 'absolutely not.'

The percentage of Americans in the prison system, has doubled since 1985.

I'd rather let the music speak for itself.

I think anytime that you go to the extreme of any mode of economics, be it capitalism or communism, you have these feedback mechanisms that make the system turn in on itself.
