He's a very secretive person (the air of mystique surrounding himself is something he very purposefully cultivates and enjoys) and there's a lot of stuff that he divulged to me over a period of time that he made me sort of "swear secrecy" to, and I intend to respect that even still, however there are a few things in which I don't think he'd care if I shared them -

1. Contrary to what his art may suggest, he isn't a satanist. He's a pretty devout christian.
2. Like I said, a big reason for the way his comics are structured is because he likes things to feel dreamlike and obscure. However, there's also the fact that he finds it pretty hard to stay dedicated to a project for more than a few months. He hates working on long, structured storylines and tends to get bored of them too quick to see them through to completion, so it works well for him to just draw a bunch of small snippets and make compilations of them.
2. The "Bloody Bloody Killer" character is based off goofy. Might seem pretty obvious in retrospect but he got a good laugh out of me when he told me that, just because its such a grotesque and horrible character.
3. Big Numbers was dead in the water long before he destroyed the work for it. It was never going to get finished. Some guys in a band he knew thought it would be a cool idea for an album cover to make a collage from a bunch of chopped up pages from big numbers, and he just obliged their idea. As everyone in the studio knew at that point that they were working on a dead project, he thought it was no big deal at the time to "repurpose" some of the work. I guess it was just convenient to let the 19 year old assistant take the fall for what was really the fault of poorly managed finances and Alan Moore's titanic ego.
