I never think my music isn't easy until I got to teach it to other people.

Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.

I think what made it difficult for people to get, and still makes it difficult for people to get, is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that, my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.

You know, as you compose music, you're just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard.

As a songwriter, it's very hard to listen to music that's not coming from the heart and soul, personally.

There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.

Probably the No. 1 most important thing in my music is not to sound like anyone else. It is hard in this day and age.

It's very easy for people to put out 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.

It's easy in music to tell what's good. It's hard to tell what's bad.
