Unfortunately we just toured the East and West coasts so we didn't run into any rednecks.

It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more

Women are interesting, but that isn't the problem, it is that I like being alone, and I'm also touring so much that it's hard to get a relationship to work.

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.

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.

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

There's always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they're beautiful mistakes.
