We started out with a lot of bands in the same generation as ours, and there are very few left. Mainly, I think people get into it for the wrong reasons. They either want fame or the girls. I think music has to be a fun experience, but it also needs to be in your blood. I firmly believe I was born to write beautiful music, and that's what I do, and that's why I don't do anything else, because I have no interest and no passion for it.

Photography and movies are a much bigger influence on me than music is itself.

I don't work at night. I'm not very good about working at night. I get tired during the day and I usually like to save my nights to try things out recording.

I've always written stuff based on personal experience, but I've always disguised it by the use of characters.

I probably watch movies more than I actually listen to music, I think.

If you want to do a movie about aliens coming down to Earth nowadays, you need to do it with a smile.

Unfortunately people sometimes suppress their lust. And it's not only sex. It could be lusting for anything really, anything that's supposedly very bad for you but can be good for you, too.
