I had an experience in a restaurant one time where there was a large trolley with beef being carved up, and I just transposed different images onto it. Like, what if there was a nice little cow there with a bowtie and a knife carving up humans. I was a vegetarian for a couple of years after that.

The influences in my life were all kind of politically, socially implanted. And then there was Watergate.

You can't get away, you can't escape. You'll jump through a plate-glass window several times and end up being right back in the spider's web.

The films I liked were European films - Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, François Truffaut.

I love music and I enjoy creating sounds. I got into making music when I was a child, starting with the spoons and the koto before moving onto the piano.

I wanted to make a human monster. His name is Coffin Baby. The idea is based on a group of people from Pasadena whose names I can't mention. His mother died and during the funeral, this baby came out of her in the coffin
