Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

Touring and putting out records is fun and cool, but I've been doing it for a long time.

Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and peace.

We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

I am more interested in how people interpret the phrase 'Elect The Dead' than what I may or may not have intended. I named the album after the track, which is a spiritual song about love, life and death and is the heaviest song on the album without having any heavy instruments.

With rock music, the amount of power that you can generate, the intensity behind the intentions of your lyrics that you can really reflect through rock music - you can't do that in jazz. You can't do that with classical.

People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.

I hate injustice, and I can't help but speak against it. But I don't want to get involved in politics.
