Why is it that all non-conformists look the same?

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.

The weird nihilism that permeates Mellon Collie is extremely relevant to what's going on right now. So many kids are intelligent and articulate, but they don't know what to do with themselves.

Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song 'Cow.'

I'm very disappointed in my country right now, because I think we've kind of lost our moral compass.

I'm not interested in pop art.

To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.
