I like Cronenberg's early work; his '80s films had all these weird, amorphous flesh objects in them.

There were no good bands in my town. You know, there's like this magic town where every kid started a band in high school, and half of them were good and have careers based on relationships built at that time? That wasn't what my life was like at all.

In the '90s, it was cool to just like R&B. But I liked Nirvana and stuff, too.

I like pop music. Earnestly. Most of the greatest technicians, mix engineers, and players are working in pop music.

Music, even if I ended up doing something different or do end up doing something different in the long run, it's just something that is life blood. If I'm not participating in some way, I feel like I'm wasting my time.

When I was twelve or thirteen, if you liked something that was outside of your friend group genre, you had to rationalize and explain it in some way. It's totally irrelevant, I think, now. I don't think anybody cares. Not young people, at least. Maybe journalists.
