To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.

I think the original, 'They're the next Jane's Addiction' things that people said about us in the beginning have been pretty much wiped out.

Well, I'm known as a guitar-rock guy, you know? You're not supposed to play with synthesizers. This is not in the rulebook.

The reason I don't play any of the old songs is because I really honor my old band, and I think that those songs are best served within the context of that band.

Rock in the mainstream culture has lost a lot of its mojo.

I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.

Why is it that all non-conformists look the same?
