My Vocation Is More In Composition Really Than Anything Else-building Up Harmonies Using The Guitar, Orchestrating The Guitar Like An Army, A Guitar Army. ... I Always Felt If We Were Going In To Do An Album, There Should Already Be A Lot Of Structure Already Made Up So We Could Get On With That And See What Else Happened. ... I Always Believed In The Music We Did And That's Why It Was Uncompromising. ... I Don't Think The Critics Could Understand What We Were Doing.

I Feel Aleister Crowley Is A Misunderstood Genius Of The 20th Century. Because His Whole Thing Was Liberation Of The Person, Of The Entity, And That Restrictions Would Foul You Up, Lead To Frustration Which Leads To Violence, Crime, Mental Breakdown, Depending On What Sort Of Makeup You Have Underneath. The Further This Age We're In Now Gets Into Technology And Alienation, A Lot Of The Points He's Made Seem To Manifest Themselves All Down The Line.

The Idea Of A Hypnotic Riff As The Prime Mover Of A Piece Of Music Has Been Around For A Long Time, Whether You're Talking About The Delta Blues Or Music From Middle Eastern And African Cultures.

I Don't Go Walking Into Things Blind.
