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

There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

Don't look at the poster on your wall and think 'I could never do that.' Look at the poster on your wall and think 'I'm gonna do that!'

There are times when I feel like I'm a traveling minister. I'm trying to go out and get kids to pick-up yard sale instruments and change the world.

Going out and playing music - that's what I do. I don't do much else.

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