On psychedelics playing a role in his creative process: "We'd do mushrooms, lie down on the grass, and listen to Paul McCartney's Ram in the sunshine. We'd just turn the speakers into the yard. You'd hear the blender going, and think, 'So we're all having frozen margaritas at 10 a.m. this morning.'"
On the effects of using mushrooms: "This is where I was standing when we were doing mushrooms and I bit off the tip of my tongue. So I was trying to sing with all this blood gushing out of my mouth [...] Mushrooms and Blood. Now there's an album title."
