My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.

I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.

I know now that everything I write, I'm going to put out, and I'll have to live with it for the rest of my life.

In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.

Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.

Boys like Peter are afraid of alot of things, like nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra, but they're not afraid of wolves.
