I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

I'm not allergic to fashion. I'm just one of those people who when they put on a suit look like they're going to a funeral or to court.

I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's gathering people together to do something fun.
