Quote by Jonathan Meese

“Jonathan Meese is not interested in the history of reality. Everything radical and precisely graphic is sustainable.

“It's sort of a cyclical thing on the road, where you can be very tired one day and sick of being in the band, and then you have a great show and you feel completely revitalized. There are people that quit bands because they can't take the road. But, personally, I love it. I get a little tired sometimes, but it's good work if you can get it.”
