I Just Have Work To

Let's Say For Instance People Say, "he's A Really Totalitarian, Strict Guy, He's Hard To Work With Or Whatever." I Don't Think It's True, But People's Perception Of Me Leads That Direction, Like I'm A Fundamentalist Person. I End Up Having To Spend Extra Time Saying, "i'm Not A Fundamentalist." I Have Other Stuff To Do.

I Think That The Idea Of Straight Edge, The Song That I Wrote, And The Way People Have Related It It, There's Some People Who Have Abused It, They've Allowed Their Fundamentalism To Interfere With The Real Message, Which In My Mind, Was That People Should Be Allowed To Live Their Lives The Way They Want To.

I'm Always Happy When I Hear About People Selling Records Or Selling Books Or Selling Movies. It Makes Me Proud Of Them.

In The Late 90s, There Was A Reverse. Everyone Would Stand Stock Still And Be So Attentive And Quiet. But Then, It Was Almost Like, "c'mon People! Engage - Make A Show With Us!" You Can Hear These Different Eras Pass Through In The Recordings.

The First Time I Ever Recorded, Which Was Into My Boom-box, I Was Like, 'wow, Check That Out.' It Sounded Great. The Narcotic Of It Was So Intense - It Was Pleasurable. I Was Like, 'you Sound Like A Band.' Then I Ended Up Spending The Rest Of My Life Trying To Chase That Initial High Again.
