A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

I frequently hear music in the very heart of noise.

That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win.

I get very uncomfortable with people watching me.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.

I try to listen to as much different music as possible - I've always got music blasting in my ears!

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

A lot of our music came out of a lot of weird psychology and weird emotions. When you play the whole body of work, you get tossed all over the place. It's not easy listening. It's not even comfortable to listen to.

I fight these strange personalities by getting into music.

I don't think when I'm doing music. Things just happen. I've even taken my clothes off while performing. But then I'm so shy that I can't even take my clothes off in the dressing room, even though it's just the other guys in the band in here with me. It's really weird.
