There was never a jostling for position about who was going to lead the band. The guys believe me, we love each other, they trust me and I trust them. They trust in me to know what I'm doing.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

Mrs. Phillis: Your favour of the 26th of October did not reach my hands 'till the middle of December. Time enough, you will say, to have given an answer ere this. Granted. But a variety of important occurrences, continually interposing to distract the mind and withdraw the attention, I hope will apologize for the delay, and plead my excuse for the seeming, but not real neglect.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.

If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.
