I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.

Every thought is new when an author expresses it in a manner peculiar to himself.

Poetry, I'm often told, is something made of words. I think it really goes the other way around: words are made of poetry.

I went in saying I wanted to be the food guy.
