Things go in waves, and I might make a record every three years. That's enough for me, that satisfies me. And it satisfies the so-called public, because they don't really need a record every year. They don't even want one. There's other stuff out there for them to listen to.

I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.

I don't think it's good to be sentimental, so I try not to be.

Whatever I'm already doing becomes enhanced when I smoke pot. It can also be demotivating, because if I'm not doing anything and I smoke a joint, it enhances just sitting in a chair. Then I don't even want to get up to change a record. That might not be a bad thing, but you have to get things done once in a while.

Don't get a job in an abattoir. Don't be a butcher. The idea that people have to do these jobs for a livelihood is ridiculous. They can get other jobs. Shoplift, man. Better to be a prostitute than cut an animal's head off for a living.

Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.

I don't like to be recognized on the street or in restaurants, and I don't like the whole celebrity thing.
