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

My skin is my canvas. The artwork on it represents something that is very powerful and meaningful in my life. I look at my skin as something of a living diary because all my tattoos represent a time in my life. And I never wish to shut the door on the past, so I carry it all with me.

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

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.

As a viewer of television if there's something I don't like or find offensive, I just don't watch it.

I'm as obsessive with health as I was with destruction.

I'm thrilled I have the opportunity to do the Spread show and have the terrific sponsors that we work with like Nikon or Verizon.
