"It is. Again, that goes through growing up the way we did. We didn’t grow up with a TV. We were really poor. We didn’t have the normal G.I. Joe dolls and such. We had music and exploring and stuff. With music, and the lack of information like TV and stuff, the normalcy that people had - for lack of a better word - we had to escape through music, through art, through painting, and stuff. That led itself to the way it sounds, and the way this whole 30 Seconds To Mars is. It’s a huge art project, really. The fans are participating. They’re making their own clothes. They get tattoos on their body parts. It’s really amazing. It makes sense because that’s where we come from. We grew up in communes and went to festivals and stuff like that, with our mom. It kind of makes sense when you look at it. I don’t think I’ve ever said this type of thing in an interview before.
