We need to get back to a level of social responsibility that we haven't seen for a long time.

Billy [Corgan] and I used to spend quite a lot of time together in Los Angeles, when I first moved there.

If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.

If you don't have some sort of belief system by which to center your life, it's hard sometimes to understand why you would put up with your family.

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.'

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.

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