It wasn't until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain.

The kid who throws his spaghetti from the high chair onto his father's face, he's pushing back. He's sticking it to the man as he sees it. I like that. So that is punk.

I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.

Youth is fleeting and life is short, you might as well strike hard. Anything else is just average.

I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.

I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.

Adolescence is a plague on the senses.

Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
