Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.

I'm kind of claustrophobic... It's not even like enclosed spaces. It's like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can't get out.

I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school.

Once I got into punk rock, I started mail-ordering albums, because a lot of the record stores in my area didn't carry the punk bands from England or Sweden or Chicago or Los Angeles

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
