THE BARRIER ONLY I EMBRACE... All of our records for me have been very important. They are documented journeys for me. When you’re listening to a Queensryche record you’re listening to my life, my hopes, my fears, my joys, my challenges, all of these things that make up a life. For me they are all incredibly important. For me that record (Promised Land) was about finding myself in a place in life where I had achieved everything that I’d ever imagined. I was at a point of not having a clear view of what the possibilities were of what was next. I couldn’t see it and I didn’t know what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. Before that I had always had a clear vision of where I was at. Promised Land was just me opening myself up to the fact that I didn’t know anymore. The band had gotten to where we always talked about getting and I had more success and fame and money than I had ever dreamed possible. All of those things that I thought would make me feel fulfilled didn’t. That’s what that record is about. I think it’s important to express your individuality, to be proud of it, and to be confident in the uniqueness of you. There’s nothing wrong with expressing that, “This is me. This is what I’m all about.” ...We can create anything that we can imagine and we define what we are by what we create. There shouldn’t be any kind of limitations set upon us, especially limitations that are thought of by outside people. We shouldn’t be influenced by what other people think we should be...
