In 1992, with the weight of a perceived world on our shoulders, we disappeared into a parking garage to write the songs that would change the course of our lives forever. 'Siamese Dream' represents all of our dreams coming true, while the dreams of a happy band fell apart.

I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.

I don't think '90s music was as significant as '60s music in terms of changing the world, but it was significant, and I think it was similarly disillusioning when you realize the mainstream just views it as like a curiosity.

A missive to all you metal bands, the world is totally over the rock thing. Rock is deader than it's ever been.

If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?

I think it would be very interesting to see that many people would probably be okay with paying more for services and goods that they felt were more holistically [generated]. Which means the death of the old system which rewarded people for taking advantage of one another.

For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I've done all right.
