Let's put it this way: the glass is half-empty, but the fact is, I can always get another drink

We started playing music from an early age and so we wasn't really aware of that side of it, the weird thing is the more successful you get the more free booze and drugs you get, they should be given to the bands who don't have the money.

In my eyes, perfection is imperfection

Music is my God, and it is the only love that has never left me.

So basically, I think music at its best can be everything. It can be totally stupid and very intellectual and emotional at the same time. I don't think all those things shut each other out.

I love the song 'Into the Night.' It's Roy Orbison meets David Lynch meets Iggy Pop on amphetamines. It has a punk edge that is not HIM, per se. It is super melodic and super '60s, and that is very new to me and it is a sense of achievement to me.

Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.
