I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again.

Any artist that is even surviving right now is a dark horse because things change pretty fast. You're a superstar one day and wake up the next day and you're anonymous. To be successful in any way is beating the odds right now, I think.

I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.

I'm always at the opposite end of the spectrum, the opposite of hipster culture, and I enjoy that.

It's a small percentile of people who see one dime out of the music business.

The ability for a woman to orally satisfy somebody in a rock band, that's important to a rock 'n' roll musician.

It's more difficult to write a song about having your heart ripped out of your chest while you're in love. Because it lacks honesty. And the honesty comes through in the music, it really does.
