I've always been a fan of music where you can hear new things each time you listen.

And I've also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it's more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.

I've done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you're answering him and that's really uncomfortable.

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

I'm not the type of player to sit home and practice scales and work on runs.

Jane's Addiction has only put out new music when our hearts were in and when we had something to say creatively.

For me, it doesn't matter how difficult something is, it doesn't matter how impressive it is, it's what sounds best that really counts.
