Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them.

People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

A lot of bands wanna do something new all the time and never repeat themselves, but I'm not so interested in that. If I feel like I can do it better the second time, I'll give it another shot.

I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.

I collaborate a little bit with different aspects of my own mind. I kick my own ass instead of kicking other people's asses.

I don't leave my room, and all I am surrounded by are guitars and equipment, y'know? It's not always the best place to be.
