song heart talking
Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there's nothing wrong with it.
song night achievement
I love the song 'Into the Night.' It's Roy Orbison meets David Lynch meets Iggy Pop on amphetamines. It has a punk edge that is not HIM, per se. It is super melodic and super '60s, and that is very new to me and it is a sense of achievement to me.
song drug everyday
Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.
casual dated girls knowing
I've never had casual sex, I have always dated the girls I've done pyshical things with. I like knowing the person and them knowing me.
metal pretend ultimately wants
Everyone wants to pretend their cock is big and metal is the medium, but ultimately it's about the songs.
hate talking women
I hate talking about my own songs. They're all about women anyway...
films good hanging models playboy recording rock shooting talking
They'd double-booked the whole place, so at the same time, Playboy was shooting films there. So we're in this nunnery where Playboy models were hanging around, and we were talking about porn and recording a rock record pretty good combination, you know?
companies loads lovely record situation wonderful
We're in a wonderful situation that there are loads of American record companies that like what we do. And that's a lovely thing.
love pop
I love the Ronettes, the 'do-run-run-run' pop stuff. I love the lyrics, having 'blue, blue blue' being repetitive.
trying
Play as well as you can; that's it, as opposed to creating these odd paranoias, trying to be something you're not.
hurting
Hurting linde is like hurting bambi, you just can't do it.
love symbols
I love hearts. They are symbols for life, love and humanity.
I have never acted in one and I'm not at all interested to do so either.
taken two care
I've got asthma. When I was 17 I forgot to take my medication and was taken to a hospital for almost two weeks. After that I've taken better care of my illness.
