You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.

Take a walk on the wild side.

One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.

Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.

Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat.

I can be vilified. I can be misunderstood. I didn't come here to be liked. I came here to make a difference.

Maybe I'll just become a cartoon character because there's nothing left for me to do in an R-rated comedy.
