पर मुझे नहीं लगता कि ज़रा भी आत्मसम्मान रखने वाला कोई भी इंसान खुद को 'गॉथ' (Goth) कहेगा
But I don't think anybody with any self-respect would admit to being Goth

मुझे लगता है कि करीब 13 या 14 साल की उम्र में मैं उस पूरे 'पंक' संस्कृति से काफ़ी प्रभावित होने लगा था—मैंने वह पूरा दौर देखा, जिसमें सिर के बाल मुंडवाने का चलन था। मुझे हमेशा से उन चीज़ों में दिलचस्पी रही जिन्हें लोग "अंधेरी दुनिया" कहते हैं, चाहे वह कुछ भी हो, और उस तरह के लुक में जो पुरानी हॉरर फिल्मों में दिखाई देता था। इसलिए मैंने उस शैली को अपने व्यक्तित्व का हिस्सा बनने दिया।
I think I began getting really influenced by that whole punk scene around the age of 13 or 14-I went through that whole thing like the shaved head. I was always interested in what people called "the darker side," whatever that was, and the kind of look that you would see in the old horror films. So I let that become more of my persona.

मुझे हमेशा से संगीत में दिलचस्पी रही है, और [1979 में] जब पंक् दृश्य उभरा, तो मुझे लगा कि यही सही समय है इसमें उतरने का। मुझे यह बात बहुत सही लगी कि कोई भी इंसान आसानी से एक बैंड बना सकता है और उसे चला सकता है। हालांकि, इसकी शुरुआत करने के बाद चीजें थोड़ी जटिल हो गईं और मुझे अहसास हुआ कि यह कोई एक बार का मज़ाक नहीं, बल्कि एक गंभीर मामला है। मुझे इसमें अपनी तरफ से बहुत मेहनत लगानी पड़ी। इसके अलावा, मैंने यह सब अपने मन का गुबार निकालने के लिए भी किया था, वे बातें जो परिवार में बड़े होते हुए मेरे भीतर भर दी गई थीं—एक तरह से अपने अंदर के डर और परेशानियों को भगाने के लिए।
I was always interested in music, I felt it was time to do it, coming out of the punk scene [1979]. I thought it was ideal that anyone could just put together a group and make it work. Then, of course, it became a little more detailed after starting it and realizing that it was something serious, not just a one-off situation. I had to put a lot more into it. Also I did it to get a lot of things out of my system, things that had been put there while I was growing up in my family. A sort of exorcizing of demons.

हाँ, सच कहूँ तो जब मैं अपने माता-पिता के घर पर रहता था, तो वे जिस तरह की बातें बर्दाश्त करते थे, उसे देखकर मैं हैरान रह जाता था। बड़े भाई-बहनों के साथ उनका अनुभव पहले से रहा था, इसलिए उनका रवैया काफी सख्त था। भगवान का डर हमारे मन में गहराई से बैठा हुआ था और एक खास उम्र तक मैं आँख मूंदकर उसका पालन करता रहा। फिर धीरे-धीरे मैंने अपनी इस आस्था पर ही सवाल उठाना शुरू कर दिया।
Yes, actually I was pretty amazed by the amount of stuff my parents put up with while I was living in their house. They had experienced all that before with older brothers and sisters, so it was fairly strict. The fear-of-God thing was pretty set and I blindly followed it until I reached a certain age. Then I just began questioning my belief system.
