NYC is chaotic. And I am attracted to chaos.

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.

But on the other hand, in the midst of the chaos, you find normal people. You find people who are willing to risk their lives to tell you what they saw, even though they have no dog in the fight.

Regarding Syria, we already call for dialogue between Syria and all parties concerned, in order to avoid any kind of escalation in the region which may expose the whole area to chaos.

Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything.

The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.

Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector's passion borders on the chaos of memories.

The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world.

You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is.

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

I'm definitely more attracted to chaos than to order.

Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.

The conscious purpose of science is control of Nature; its unconscious effect is disruption and chaos.

I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.

A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable.

Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

He has a very extensive public relations apparatus that is paid for by the taxpayers of this state. They are some of the best in the business. and he is a master at getting not only television but other media exposure on the basis of confrontation and chaos.
