I didn't write songs for a very long time.

I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to The wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place At the wrong time For the wrong reason And the wrong rhyme On the wrong day Of the wrong week Used the wrong method With the wrong technique Wrong Wrong.

I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.

I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.

I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.

I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.

I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
