I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.

If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.

I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.

I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.

But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.

Well, I've never been to Japan so I couldn't say. I do know that we have a bit of a following there however.

There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.

Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.

Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.

The bungle tour is a bit up in the air due to the fact this at we are getting screwed by our overseas label.

It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.

I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.

NYC is chaotic. And I am attracted to chaos.

Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.

I never understood why the metal heads in my school hated the punks.

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

Harry Patch didn't get enough recognition. Jerry Garcia got too much.

I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.

I need to broaden my horizons.

I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.

I love playing in Fantomas, which is very strict in terms of composition.

I take all of my music seriously and personally.

If I can introduce someone to something new, as is constantly happening to me, then I am elated.

I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.

Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.

Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.

Bungle is definitely a priority right now.

Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.

The Pirate is surrealism and so, in a curious way, is Father of the Bride.

Surrealism is a bourgeois disaffection; that its militants thought it universal is only one of the signs that it is typically bourgeois.

Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.

But surrealism is present in most of my pictures.

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.

Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.

The overintellectualization of surrealism can be a bromide. A dream interpreted is a deflated dream.

Lest when I am gone you may be at a loss for an epitaph for me, let me give you one - He Fed Fevers.

The Joan Crawford that I've heard about in 'Mommie Dearest' is not the Joan Crawford I knew back when.

I would want to know if, at 15, if my daughter loves me the way she does right now. And if she's proud of me, just because I want to be a good example for her, and seeing her grow and how much she loves Daddy saying 'Daddy, te quiero mucho,' which means 'I like you a lot,' those are the things that melt my heart.

All equestrians, if they last long enough, learn that riding in whatever form is a lifelong sport and art, an endeavor that is both familiar and new every time you take the horse out of his stall or pasture.

By creating fantastic content and spending zero time on audience development, you are certain that you will not succeed on YouTube. You have to focus on audience development as much as you focus on creating content.

We can't really digest food unless there's hunger. So we can't really assimilate spiritual wisdom unless we feel the need for it.
