God exists. He is up there drinking some Margaritas. I'm sure about that. But I don't look at him as something divine. I rather believe in the spiritual world. That's a very common word to me, nothing strange about it. That's because of my Indian grandfather, who had a large influence on my life. Most of the time I discover the divine in not-western and ancient cultures. Especially in those of the Native Americans.

[Christian men] have got to talk about the the penis because they've got one, and they're using it. But that's the problem with Christian men, - they haven't known where to put it! The shame that they cast on the women - 'you tempt us to do this' - that's because they dont' think they have the right to put their penis somewhere. So they've taken the sword and gone from country to country slaughtering people to believe in Christianity. I don't see a lot of 'Love your neighbor' when I look at the last 2000 years of Christianity.

Lucifer was the brother holding the space for mankind/womankind to act out their fears and hidden secrets, things they won't acknowledge. That's what the shadow is, the side that's been denied, and once you don't deny your shadow anymore than it's not a perversion of that energy source.I don't consider Lucifer an evil force. We can all tap into that free-running current of distorted energy.

I don't think you ever really reach a plateau where you're good enough at your craft...you always have to create something new.

There's this incredibly aggressive new rock-filtered-through-rap influences kind of thing that seems almost sociopathic. And both (that and the teen pop craze) happening at the same time is interesting, if you think about it. But I haven't thought about it much. I don't think any of it should be taken seriously.

Disco was almost more of a sport than it was sitting and listening to a record by yourself.

I like the idea that the best-laid plans can be wrecked by a patch of bad weather. Anything that is so controlled that it takes away any element of risk becomes predictable and boring.

The media are so hung up on their labeling. "Alternative," "electro" or "house." They are so obsessed about the form and not the content. I don't care what you call something - is it good or not?

I think it's the lack of arrogance and musical snobbery, and the advent of new technology that makes us excited. It's quite limitless where we get our sources of inspiration from. Great music is timeless.

Serial killers usually look normal, and people end up saying things like, "Gee, I would have never guessed he would do that..." People who put on normal masks can get away with it because they lull victims into a sense of security.

What the hell is "normal" anyway? Is commuting 9 to 5 each day normal? Is that an ideal? But normal and ideal are two different things, aren't they?
