There were a lot of things I listened to, but so-called pop music never killed me, you know, the type of stuff that always seems to make it on the radio. The whole radio thing seems so... it's like they've accepted the whole "new wave" thing only because this kind of pop element came into it. In Europe they really love emotion, but here it's like, "let's stay away from it because we might cry or something".

I don't see us as a big media gimmick band. We don't have a cultivated appearance or anything like Kiss.

You can't get so interested in just making sounds. The point of it all is some kind of expression.

I really don't have that much interest in stardom.

The song Venus de Milo, the whole subject of it is Love is a drug.

I'm not a clown but I'm not an academic either.
