Surprisingly, such dissection doesn't murder the experience. Just the opposite: Only then does a work of art fully live.

Serj TankianI have a passion for words. I love words. And I'm just learning and developing my skills for words. I do books and I do journalism and plays. I have a broad palette.

I'd never say never, of course, but I look at it and don't really fancy it. I want to try and master the word side of it first.

Dale JamiesonPeople ask me if I'm influenced by British music, and I suppose I grew up listening to mostly British music - from new wave stuff through to heavy metal. Like, when I got into metal, it was Black Sabbath. I never really got into a lot of American rock. I appreciate some of it, but not much! Most of the great new wave music was coming out of Britain, and Germany. So maybe those influences have made their way into my music, and perhaps that's why I have this connection with people in Europe. But maybe it's something cosmic.
