All I can go on is my own value system.

Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

I've seen foreigners really shift on their view of America, and that's hard for me to take.

Twenty-eight to 31 is the tough period. You have to be really careful because it's so cataclysmic, so life-altering. People do really dramatic things like get married, or they'll get divorced. Your chances of committing suicide go way up. It's basically psychic death. You see the signs of it around 27, and you're still on the out-end of it around 31. Everyone I've talked to who's gone through that and come out the other side walks out of it like, "MY LIFE IS GREAT".

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

At some point, you protest too much they think you're guilty just because you're protesting.
