Anytime something becomes widely condemned and taboo, it will be eroticized.
I think the universe is just so big that there has to be something else out there.
My ideal travel companions are my surfboard, wetsuit, and guitar.
I actually write my own music whenever I have a chance. I play guitar and sing.
I've never really had a chance to play a bad guy, and that's something I've always really, really wanted to do. I wanted to experience that really dark side of a person.
I'm releasing a single. It's called 'Live it Up. ' It was based on my Euro trip. I only write my own music. I don't let other people write it at all. So I've been working on that a lot. There's three singles coming out. The producer of The Fray who did their double-platinum album 'How to Save a Life,' I'm working with him. He's producing me.
I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage. ' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel. ' It's hilarious.
I realized that what I was saying was threatening, somehow, to the editors of women's magazines. That it threatened the very world they were trying to paint, what I then called the "feminine mystique. "

In the time just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when Perfidia opens, we were pre-psychologized. There were no concepts of identity, no politics of victimization. Reparation wasn't in the language. Nobody thought about giving the great grandchildren of black slaves so much as $1. 98. And all of a sudden the bombs hit, interventionism versus isolationism became a dead issue, and it was us-versus-them in a heartbeat.
Art and music are the vehicle for the zeitgeist.
