My music has been a sort of personal therapy. It’s got me out of tough times, it has been the friend that I needed, when I didn’t have a friend there.
I think, fundamentally, music is something inherently people love and need and relate to, and a lot of what’s out right now feels like McDonalds. It’s quick-fix. You kind of have a stomachache afterwards.
Today’s political climate does not allow the luxury of apathy.
The Grammys make me hate music, and certainly everyone in the ass-licking music industry.
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain Demands devotion, atrocities done in his name.
When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I’d love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie.
If I come up with rules or limitations it focuses me in a direction. And those rules can change if you realize it’s a dumb idea. You start to mutate it to see what fits best.
The result of a public that has a very high consumption rate and turnover rate is people listen to more music but spend less time with individual bits of music. It’s made me more likely to put things up quickly and treat it more like a magazine instead of a novel.
I’ve become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.
If I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way.
I was at my most miserable when I had everything I ever wanted.
God is DEAD, and no one cares! If there is a hell I’ll see you there!
I feel uncomfortable because I’m insecure about who I am.
I believe there’s a God but I’m not too sure of his relevance.
I do actually believe in love. I can’t say that I’m 100 percent successful in that department, but I think it’s one of the few worthwhile human experiences. It’s cooler than anything I can think of right now.
I’ve got a canvas, I’ve got a scene, let’s fill that with sound.
When an instrument fails on stage it mocks you and must be destroyed!
Lots of people can have girlfriends. But I can throw around guitars onstage! That’ll be my epitaph: ‘He never had a girlfriend, but you should’ve seen him smash a Les Paul!’
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.
