Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.

Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.

I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed and you're going to hear it in the music.

Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
