Quotations
"Life is about learning. I really feel that I've already grown creatively so much. I am not a flash-in-the-pan, studio-created musician. I'm here doing what I love to do... I did it for years before anyone ever took notice, and I'm doing it the same I've always done it. My drive to express myself will always be there."
"Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc."
Translation: We would gladly feast on those who would subdue us. (Brian Larsen, from a tattoo on his stomach, also appears in Addams Family (film) as the Addams Family motto).
