I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn't set foot in another church until I was 28.

I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

It's what the mainstream does - they absorb things and they blunt the power of it. And so the next generation and the next generation has to become more shocking and more provocative in order to get any rise out of anybody.

Twenty-eight to 31 is the tough period. You have to be really careful because it's so cataclysmic, so life-altering. People do really dramatic things like get married, or they'll get divorced. Your chances of committing suicide go way up. It's basically psychic death. You see the signs of it around 27, and you're still on the out-end of it around 31. Everyone I've talked to who's gone through that and come out the other side walks out of it like, "MY LIFE IS GREAT".

People act like Nirvana invented grunge; they just took it and personified it.

In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.

It makes me crazy to think that somebody might attack my city or any other city.
