When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.

I think my biggest musical hero growing up was probably Ian MacKaye he set a great example for all of us local musicians. Still to this day I see him as the best example of a right-on musician.

It's funny; recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.

I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.

When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.
