The one thing I wished for my children is that they'd be readers.

The Clash were a major influence on my own music. They were the best rock 'n' roll band. Thanks, Joe.

I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.

For me, once I count the band in, and I delve deep into my song, I feel a certain sort of integrity and integration that I rarely find in my daily life.

Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knee Willie, you know they're gonna be there. Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy, they'll be coming up for air.
