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

I don't have to play by these rules or do these things... I can actually have my own kind of version.

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.

My step-mom would tell me that she would get complaints from adults that I stared too much at them.

I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.

If the next record is no better than Gish, then we've failed.

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.
