All dope can do for you is kill you... the long hard way. And it can kill the people you love right along with you.

If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.

Rome is a place almost worn out by being looked at, a city collapsing under the weight of reference.
