I like structuring verses, choruses, but sometimes the verses might be a tango and the choruses might be death metal.

I am depressed sometimes, but it's not what keeps me at home or focused on work.

I'll be honest with you: politically, I have no issue with people, but my beef sometimes is with religion at the end of the day.

There's no rule that says you have to make records constantly, like clockwork, to continue being who you are.

I guess you'd say I'm a gearhead. It's not just guitars; I have five or six drum sets, a bunch of keyboards... It's like Guitar Center exploded, and all the cool stuff dropped in my backyard. I'm a really lucky guy, I have to admit.

I'm not very happy. I'm frustrated with human beings. I'm the guy who just wants to smack people in the face and say, 'Wake up!'
