I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

Thinking about the future and thinking about the past is really only a way of ignoring the present.

All I can go on is my own value system.

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

We can look you in the eye and talk to you about life, heart, love rock'n'roll, whatever, but we do not have the moral authority to tell people how to vote or what to do with their bodies. We are just a rock band.

It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.

I didn't grow up with my mother, and so losing her for real was like, some sort of latent childhood, some sort of unresolved issue. When she left for real, it was sort of like, I was done.
