Art is commenting on what's going on around you in your life.

The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.

I'm done with industrial. Seriously, my iPod collection at home has no industrial music on it; it's strictly jazz, blues and country.
I never read comic books as a kid.
