This Is Going To Sound Crazy, But

I'm Never Argumentative For The Sake Of Being Argumentative, I Don't Think. And More Than Ever, I've Had To Be Willing To Fight Just To Get Records Released, Or Just To Be Able To Walk Away With A Little Bit Of Self-respect And Pride.

You Can Imagine Several Scenes From Star Wars? The Way They Looked? For Me, That's How Music Is. Sometimes I'll Be Developing Riffs For Songs, Just While I'm Sitting Around And Not Playing.

To Conceive Music, To Execute It In Front Of Others, To Make It So Others Can Do It...it Can Be Pretty Humbling, And Kind Of Scary. So Yeah, I Don't Really Feel In Competition With Anybody. Not Because I Feel Elitist, But Because I Have Enough Self-competition. I'm Always Struggling.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Loving The Crap Out Of Everything. Negative People Find Their Walls. So Never Apologize For Your Enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.
