𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: They're things that you live with and also can't escape from. They're a part of life.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: They're things that you live with and also can't escape from. They're a part of life.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Of course. But it's not worth it to fear pain. It's something you have to experience sooner or later. Death... You definitely can't run away from it either. I mean, I try not to think too much about the fear [of these things] itself. You have to live in the present and treasure life.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Prison.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Prison.
𝐇𝐮𝐡?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Getting locked up, having your freedom stolen, that kind of power is bullsh*t.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Getting locked up, having your freedom stolen, that kind of power is bullsh*t.
𝐇𝐦, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐲?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: That's my personal opinion... Maybe it's some trauma from my childhood. (laughs)

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Definitely! I recently heard a story about someone who cured themselves of cancer by sheer willpower... To be able to rule the body with the power of the mind is ideal. It's miraculous to have something happen just by concentrating on it. I personally think it's tremendous to have the power to be so confident in yourself…

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Hm... A long distance relationship.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Hm... A long distance relationship.
𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Yes, of course. Wherever we go, we try that place's local food. We're quite open in that aspect. We're different from King Richard who refused to eat any food that wasn't English.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Yes, of course. Wherever we go, we try that place's local food. We're quite open in that aspect. We're different from King Richard who refused to eat any food that wasn't English.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Meat.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: We're not 'working' on a new album. But we're writing songs... To us, to work on an album means something more along the lines of recording in the studio.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: I wouldn't say that, it just made us more famous? ... No!
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: Sold well, huh? (laughs) To say it sold well means it sold much, much more.
Does the question mean that because the album sold well automatically we've turned into a commercial band? It was only the result of the last 7 years of activity and touring. We haven't stopped creating powerful sounds.
