You know, musicians aren't very stable, in case you hadn't noticed.

I think the fact is that World Coming Down was just a really hard album for people to deal with.

I do my job in Type O Negative.

Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn't be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.

That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.

My tastes lean toward the more negative, angry and eclectic.

You know, musicians aren't very stable, in case you hadn't noticed.

I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.

So right off, I'm going to have to say that a lot of people have been comparing Life Is Killing Me to World Coming Down, and I think a lot of those people equate art and sales figures, and I don't do that.

We do do such a variety, especially if you consider all five records.

In regards to the reaction to Life Is Killing Me, I would say that I'm never happy about anything.

Peter has the biggest mouth, so it goes to be a mouth contest.

We seem to do better in the studio than we do in a live environment.

Like all of us, we have pretty serious mood swings.

Well, Peter has a writing style, but again, time changes subject matters and attitudes.

We're not the millionaires that people think when they see busses.

I think that most artists are leaning towards fragile idiots.

I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.

Yeah, I guess everyone's had a reasonable amount of sex in their lives, some less than others.

I definitely have favourites in terms of albums.

We don't pump out albums eight months apart from each other.

We're from New York, so we have a decent following.

We'll look at a bunch of deals that are being offered to us, and we decide where to go and continue on I guess. It's not too early to start considering our options with other labels.

We still have a very good core following, and the shows have been almost one hundred percent sold out.

Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It's surviving. It's getting an album together.

Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.

No, I'm sure that there's a lot of L.A. bands out there.

To compare the albums is like trying to compare apples and oranges.

I used to love Bach.

The World Coming Down tour was around four years ago, and other than the wear and tear we've all sustained in the last four years, nothing much has changed.

I lean towards traditionally what people would consider the more negative side of life.

One album has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I really believe that we're a studio-based band, and I have always thought that.

I just want to focus on one thing at a time.

We think that we have great potential but never reach it.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.

For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

When we started making electronic music I imagined that the reaction we got from the rock musicians must have been similar to the one the beat groups got from people like my dad.

We were brash young fellows'. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.

You can have all sorts of relationships, but there's something with musicians working together where you can have relationship that can just continue to grow in a beautiful way.

Most musicians count at the beginning, and never count and talk to their musicians after that. They only talk to them at the end of the song. But I would count with them and talk.

It's my fault in many cases because I don't initiate the contact to talk with a lot of other musicians.

Musician jokes are a kind of joke that usually have to do with how much money someone makes. Musicians are always starving, so they're really mean to each other about who makes what.

What 'jazz' means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term 'jazz' has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.

We wanted to guide the musicians, so we could create our own sound. We would never let the band just go in and play the chord sheets. We were very focused on what we had in mind for these productions.

I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
