The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.

I'd love it if everyone knew one Foo Fighters song.

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.

I'm told that my blood sugar level was twelve times the legal limit - I was sweating honey.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.
