“Hay algo levemente inquietante sobre la gente que crea música extraordinaria. Es casi como si estuvieras usando partes de su mente donde otras personas no llegan. Si miras a grandes artistas como Picasso o Mozart están en el límite de ser personas extremadamente perturbadas. Pero de alguna forma escogieron canalizar esos impulsos en la creatividad. Supongo que hay una delgada línea entre canalizar a través de la creatividad o la destrucción.”
There‘s something slightly disturbing about people who create extraordinary music. It‘s almost like were you tapping into part of their mind which other people don‘t tap into. This is my theory. So there is a very thin line, if you look at the great artists, someone like Picasso or Mozart. They are on the verge of insanity, on the verge of being extremely disturbed, psychopathic people. But in a way they‘ve chosen to channel those impulses into creativity. I guess that there is a very thin line between channelling them in creativity and destruction.

I think part of the artist’s responsibility is to, in a way, expose themselves. And when you do that, I think you’re holding up a mirror to the people who listen to your music. That mirror is of course an image of yourself, but you’re asking the people that listen to the music to see if they recognize themselves when they look in that mirror.
