Music is there to access those dark emotional corners that we don't normally get too close to.

The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.

Everything becomes magnified at night. Sounds travel in a different way, it's dark, and everything seems far more spooky.

I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.

We've all got darkness inside us. And I've got quite a lot of darkness.

The dark is light enough.

It's just interesting that people don't really know about the roles that I play that are darker. I kind of do a huge blend of really big light things but also really dark indie things, and it just sort of happens to work out that way.

But it is true that sometimes an enveloping darkness aids one to clearer vision; as in a panorama building, for example, where the obscurity about the entrance prepares one better for the climax, and gives the scene depicted a more real and vivid appearance.

One of the most ephemeral and important things is atmosphere and tone and it's very hard to put your finger on what creates that.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you.
