The way I play guitar is very, very hard and I bloody myself incredibly without the tape. And the nails are my picks.

I still define myself by the places that I've been.

I was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back.

Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.

Up up up up up up points the spire of the steeple but god's work isn't done by god it's done by people

I never try to imagine the future. I kinda think it's a waste of time. I live in the now.

I think the music industry, for instance, is such a huge, multibazillion-dollar industry and it's become very, very savvy. There's a very short grace period in which actual human rebellion or resistance can thrive before it's co-opted by these huge companies. And all of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it's part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.
