All I can go on is my own value system.

I'm sort of like a lame, single guy in a red sports car.

I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.

Live simply; make compassionate choices when it comes to food.

I met Scott Stapp when the band was first coming up, great guy. I haven't seen him for years, but a great guy.

My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.

About six months ago, I listened to Siamese Dream. That was the first time I'd ever really heard my own album, because I had separated from the experience of making the record. And it really moved me. It made me cry, it's so beautiful.
