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

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers.

The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself.

A pop song is a condensed version of a life in three minutes, whereas, when you go to write your prose, you have to find the rhythm in your words, and you have to find the rhythm in the voice that you have found and the way you're speaking.

Think of it this way: performing is like sprinting while screaming for three, four minutes. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And then you walk a little, shouting the whole time. And so on. Your adrenaline quickly overwhelms your conditioning.
