A lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.

Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

I love a lot of people in bands and people doing weird art stuff, but i will always forget someone and i don't really want to be part of stamping the boundaries on a scene.

I have always felt a little held back by working with other people in recording.

I am a musician before a writer, and a drawer before a writer. When I lose sight of that, which I do, my work tends to suffer.

If you keep your cool, you'll get everything.

Theology is that discipline whereby we stop talking nonsense about God.

I'll argue anyone into the dust when it comes to facts.

If the economy is growing fast, there is call for a distributing income from the rich to the poor to to put in place social safety nets.

Being independent... is being innovative out of inspiration as well as necessity.

Consider the possibility that the little obstacles in life are not obstacles at all, but stepping stones.

Frankly, I’m suspicious of anyone who has a strong opinion on a complicated issue.
