I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.

I find it easier to write in these little vignettes; if I try to get any more heavy, I find myself out of my league.

I couldn't stand to be separated with my wife for months. It became quickly apparent to me that I needed to find a balance between my absolute work obsession and a private life that we could share without my disappearing all the time.

I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.

I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.

You should turn around at the end of the day and say I really like that piece of work, or that piece of work sucked. Not, was that popular or wasn't it popular?
