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

These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.

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

Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.

I always thought Kurt Cobain was the perfect embodiment of the great alternative guitar player.

James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub.

Everything about life makes me lonely.
