In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.

If you're really going to uncover something as an artist, you're going to come into access with parts of your personality and your psyche that are really uncomfortable to face: your own ambition, your own greed, your own avarice, your own jealousies, and anything that would get in the way of the purity of your own artistic voice.

I usually wake up far after breakfast. That's as much as you're going to find out about my dietary requirements other than marijuana and vodka.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.

I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.

In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.

Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.

I work differently than most people.
