I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.

I don't find most people to be as politically engaged as I am. I do find people that appreciate eye-opening events and words, and who want to learn more about what's going on. I do find people with a lot of opinions. And I get a lot of people who come up to me and give us props for what we do.

I've got my own studio, and I've got four- to five-hundred unreleased tracks. I've got stuff that's electronic, orchestral, jazz, I've got rock, I've got metal, you know, I don't have polka.

You listen to Bob Dylan and you can't help but think of the 60s, it's very relational and if artists are true artists and not just mere musicians they need to be truthful because the music doesn't come from them, it comes from the universe and it's to be shared. At best, we're skilled presenters, and I say that at best.

Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and peace.

Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

With 'Elect the Dead,' I learned how to make a rock record without a rock band and make the rock record I've always wanted to make.
