Nothing Is As Nice As Plugging In Your Guitar And Turning Up The Volume Really Loud, Just Seeing What Kind Of Beautiful Noise You Can Make With It.

I'm Interested In The Crevices, And The Grotesque, And The Unsavory. That Started Out When I Was Young... I've Never Quite Been Able To Shake That.

To Me, The Grotesque Is Like A Sonic Manifestation Of Reality. I Don't Know How You Could Look Out Onto Our World And See Only Beauty. And I Like Beautiful Things. I Like The Aesthetically Harmonious. But I Am Much More Attracted To Something That Is Off-kilter. It Is A Truer Reflection Of Not Only Nature, But The Human Spirit - The State Of The World. I Just Think Everything Feels A Little Off.

I Think That There's Always An Assumption, When A Band Goes On Hiatus Or Stops Playing, That There's Some Acrimony Brewing Under The Surface.
