FANZINE: Okay, now for a bunch of quick Entertainment Weekly-style questions. I saw on your Myspace page that you play left-handed guitar. Ever been in any bands?

GREY: No, I’ve never been in any bands.

FANZINE: What sort of stuff do you play?

GREY: I like to experiment and make shit up. For speed purposes, I practice different scales. I don’t really like playing other people’s music.

FANZINE: Are you left-handed?

GREY: I’m ambidextrous.

FANZINE: A lot of the bands you’re into––Joy Division, Current 93, Sisters of Mercy, Coil, Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy––are obviously, as my Dad would say, "before your time." How'd you get into, say, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, and C93?

GREY: Mostly by accident, probably looking for weird shit online, and brainwashed.com.

FANZINE: Have you ever read England’s Hidden Reverse?

GREY: I’ve never read it, and can’t find it anywhere.

FANZINE: Do you like Marilyn Manson's music, or more as a personality and icon?

GREY: His personality compliments his amazing talent as a musician and performance artist. I think he is exactly what his name derives from––he’s a very intelligent man.

FANZINE: Do you have any say in the music that scores your scenes? Godspeed You Black Emperor… Fugazi?

GREY: LOL! I wish I had a say—that’s all done in post-production. Every time you shoot a scene, part of the contract even states that you do not have a right in the final product.

FANZINE: You’re into Aesop Rock, Outkast, etc. Do you write?

GREY: Yes, I do write actually, mostly poetry and short stories. I guess I want to be a renaissance woman. I wish more hip-hop artists had the intelligence of Aesop––we’d have larger array of listen-worthy music.

FANZINE: What attracts you to, say, the work of Burroughs or something like House of Leaves? Bukowski?

GREY: Burroughs was just fucking fantastic, molding reality, into the surreal. Not to mention his interplay of sexuality. House of Leaves is great because I have never read or seen a post-modern horror book—graphic design combined with eccentric writing.

FANZINE: You’ve also mentioned performance art. Favorite artists or movements?

GREY: COUM Transmission, definitely. The Situationist International is definitely a movement I favor.

FANZINE: Are you into Vienna Actionism?

GREY: I checked out, it’s right in my alley––no pun intended.

FANZINE: Do you consider porn performance art?

GREY: Of course I do. I don’t know how many people see it that way, but when I am in the scene I am performing for an audience. Satisfying not the male talent, but people at home watching.
