I feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.

We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.

I don't have a problem with 'Idol' or 'X Factor,' I have a problem with when those things are not given the proper contextual hue.

Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?

I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.

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.

I'd reached a point where there was a direct conflict between what I was trying to be and who I really was.
