I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

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.

Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.

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

You can make yourself the greatest singer in the world or the best drummer in the world with the aid of technology.
