"It seems as though Im going nowhere really fucking fast."

"I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, thats now, but when it breaks away, theres a brand new piece of skin thats stronger than before. Its like creation out of chaos."
Brandon Boyd"When were making music together, its like five men making love-in a very platonic sense. Its very erotic, because your spirits are intermingling, youre becoming one. Its also why it can get so heated. Youre tapping into this electricity thats very primal."
Brandon Boyd"We have all the elements of being the worst band in the world: a bass player who’s got some slap-bass shit, heavy riff guitars, a DJ scratching on the songs, a crazy drummer, and a singer who’s in touch with his feminine side. Even our band name is the worst name ever: it evokes imagery of ‘Incubus’ in death-metal writing, with bullet belts across our chests."
Brandon Boyd"Can someone please explain to me your ever-present lack of speed?"
Brandon Boyd"Jose just got a tattoo of an ass tattooed on his ass the other day. Its actually quite fascinating. Confusing, but fascinating. When you come to the show, ask him about it. Hell show you."
Brandon Boyd"I was in a bookstore, browsing through an old Life magazine, when I saw a picture of what the article called spontaneous human combustion. There were an old guys legs and shoes, perfectly intact...then, right around his knee area, was just a pile of charred ashes. I was going through some turmoil in my life, both good and bad, and the image struck a chord, so...I wrote a song about it."
