We are the most beloved and hated band in the world.

We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.

It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, "Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound." And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.

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

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.

There's a difference between being a poseur and being someone who's so emotionally challenged they're kind of just doing their best to show you what they've got.

I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.
