I feel uncomfortable because I'm insecure about who I am.
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.
I've got a canvas, I've got a scene, let’s fill that with sound.
God is DEAD, and no one cares! If there is a hell I'll see you there!
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
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!'
If I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way.
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain Demands devotion, atrocities done in his name.
When an instrument fails on stage it mocks you and must be destroyed!
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.
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.

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 was at my most miserable when I had everything I ever wanted.
