My life is ready, fire, aim, and it is one of adventure.

I was a kiddie pool attendant, and I was a white rapper. That's not going to get you a job on Wall Street.

It's better to set a big goal to try and then fail than to never set a goal in the first place.

We don't aim high enough with our goals. We all have more in us, and we are all capable of aiming higher.

We are bodies which think, and we're at home with steampunk because it is an ethos of design and creativity which acknowledges the humanly physical: that which we can understand with our fingers.

When you look at that period when Warhol and the Velvets and the Stones were doing things, it was this intersection of art and music. And then it went away.

I wear a lot of different hats - from writer to producer and artist. We all do 5 or 6 jobs, everything from creating our own graphic design to actually recording and the whole bit.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul. And I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.
