The past is part of the present, is part of the future, it's all part of being an artist. You cannot be something that you're not when you're not that thing anymore, and if you do that then you're a liar.

Four inch nails is more like it!

I have no intention of dying young and being some stinking rock'n'roll person.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.

I'm covered with loser dust.

There are ten commandments, I've only broken three.

Don't be bitter and mean 'couse you don’t fit in, it’s a GIFT. Look at you. you’ve got your individuality, you don’t have the herd instinct, you can read Neitzsche and understand it. Only dumb people are happy.
