I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.

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.

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

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

It's tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I'm wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.

I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.
