The mind is left bereft when it is nothing more than a tool of regurgitation.

Mistakes you can learn from; sins stay with you forever.

You don't break ground by doing the same thing over and over and over. That's like standing in place. You have to risk to gain it all.

As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.

I love the fact that people can relate to what I'm saying, even if it's not for the same subject I was writing about. That is the power of real music and real expression.

I've always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' 'Here we are now/Entertain us' - the irony, the antagonism; that's always stuck with me.

I may never let go of my wrath, my anger, but I will always have the last laugh.
