I love things that are harsh and things that are too loud. And I love lulling people into a false sense of security. That's life.

I love my music, so I want to produce, write, and serve my music. I've had to learn about EQ frequencies and programming and space and clutter and how to be a better piano or bass player - everything.

I'm appealing to people who want something different, but the world, on the whole, doesn't really embrace different things. Not on the whole.

I write exactly what I think. If it's a raw subject, I write lots of things and then pull out all the fluff words.

Half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating. Everything neutralises. It's more of a statement on society and how weird it is.

I think we live in a culture where it is really difficult to get privacy because everything is so accessible. It's very difficult to maintain your comfortable life with a sort of mystique.
