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

People always seemed to pay attention to us. I have no idea why -- there was just a presence between the four people or something.

I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.

I don't think people are fans of me because I wrote hit songs. I think they're fans because I'm a lunatic or a weirdo. The hit songs came out of my idiosyncratic personality, not the other way around.

If there was a simple ethic for the band, it was that we want to be able to do whatever we want to do.

In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.

The title of a song is like the wrapping on a present.
