I have a job - it's a great job, and I love doing it - but I can't not work. That's not psychological; that's practical.

The reason why everything I do is so different is not because I'm trying to be provocative; it's simply a reflection of whatever was happening to me at the time I wrote that particular record.

The records I make, I'm there from the writing of the first note through the click tracks to the miking of the drums to the editing of everything to the production to the vocals to the artwork.

People talk about the Ozzfest and what it can do for your career, and I guess I'm just oblivious to it.

If you're making music strictly to make money, you might as well find another job.

As Devin, the person, I'm very different from my artistic self.

Because I have been so pigheaded and so selfish about so many things for so many years, I've spent a lot of time being, like, 'That person needs to change. This person needs to change.'

I love Strapping Young Lad. I'm incredibly proud of that band; I'm incredibly proud of everything we did.

I'm really into music, I'm really into art, and I want to keep that fire alive.

When I was going to high school, in the high school band we would play these kind of hour-long concerts for our parents. All the parents would come to the gymnasium, and the band would play an hour-long kind of orchestra piece. 'Synchestra' is supposed to be similar, like a high school band orchestra piece.
