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.

When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.

You know, Nirvana used to start rehearsals with the three of us just jamming. For, like, a half an hour, just noise and freeform crap - and usually it was crap. But sometimes things would come from it, and some songs on Nevermind came from that, and 'Heart Shaped Box' and stuff on 'In Utero' just happened that way.

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

You look up to your heroes and you shouldn't be intimidated by them; you should be inspired by them.

When you're young, you're not afraid of what comes next. You're excited by it.

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