Beggars can't be choosers. We don't have all the money in the world. So anyone who wants to be in the band and be broke - that's their own death wish.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.

It's not like that when you're a songwriter - songwriters aren't like pulp writers or journalists, even. You just follow the muse. It's called muse-ic. Whenever the muse decides to bestow her inspiration on the songwriter, then the song is born.

When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.

All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.
