We are very lucky really, because we can create our own reality, John [Lennon] and me, but we know the important thing is to communicate with other people.

I think something that's very important for us to communicate is usually very simple. Like breathing: Breathing is very simple. You don't do a dissonant 9th harmony or something in breathing. You just breathe, you know. I think that's how it is with very important messages.

Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.

The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.

Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
