I'm capable offstage of having some dark, twisted thoughts but the kind of things I like to do onstage are just more conceptual and I don't even think of them as being clean.

They're just things that I like to talk about, and then at the end of the day you think, "Well, I guess that was clean" but it's not the focus.

We can't keep the sun, no matter how afraid we are of the dark.
