I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.

My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.

The fact that I was taking naps in churches, in between takes of the [Ordinary World], and there was that guerilla style of filmmaking, I felt more at home with that.

I wrote a song called "Green Day" because I was smoking a lot of dope.

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.

You can't change the wind but you can set your sails.

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.
