If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.

As a healthy person, my breakfasts are very bland and boring. Think kind of a white pasty gruel. Or there can be an occasional banana over the top.

I work differently than most people.

As a 28 year old who's lived long enough to know the difference, I know now that the feelings I felt an 16 were not necessarily correct. But however overly dramatic, the desperation and hopelessness I felt at 16 was my reality.

I get more out of life just being myself, by just being a human being. Not by being a rock star, not by being whatever. Sometimes I act like a jerk, but I think people respect me for being myself. That's the ultimate thing about the Smashing Pumpkins.

I had such a big mouth for so long that it doesn't faze anybody anymore.
