All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.

You know what, the drummer is my manager. He's busy. And I'm busy. I don't need the dough, though. But having said that, there's a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn't great.

I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.

The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.

It's funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can't even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of.

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.

If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.
