I don't like that the government is going to manipulate the information to try to convince me that what I'm eating is not what I'm really eating. If people choose to eat cardboard because it's ten cents cheaper, then let them. That's at the root of freedom. But in the reverse, I'd like to know if what I'm eating or consuming or buying is somehow hurting or exploiting someone in another part of the planet.

I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance.

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

If you've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.

It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.

You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.
