When a new person comes in, you can't help but evolve. Steve comes from a singer/songwriter background, whereas Perkins and I come from more of a jamming and experimental background, and I think what we came up with is a great combination of songs and musicianship.

In an age of immediacy the idea of waiting sounds hopelessly outdated. But that said, there is something to be said about anticipation...

Everyone's stunned when they see me all done up in some kind of costume, but they never ask what i'm hiding...I'm not creating a person that I'm not. I'm just amplifying a part of me.

We like to think that we are stronger than our compulsions. But when time after time we can't break a habit we so badly want to eliminate, we begin to realize that maybe our will power and self control aren't as strong as we thought they were. Maybe we are just as weak as everybody else.

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

I wasn't a great background singer.
