Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.
We do this basically for ourselves. People appreciate it, which is cool, but I think they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not up to us. We like it.
I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.
I have the best job in the world. I'm able to express myself, and people attach themselves to it if they identify with it. Music certainly is a driving force in my life. There's not a moment where I'm not in it.
I don't remember doing anything else; I don't remember not living in the studio. I'm itching for people to hear this album because I'm sick of hearing it myself.
It's a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it.
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
People always complain about something. If you face yourself and stand up strong, you're OK. You can't go wrong.
