It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.

There are lots of things I like about playing in a band, the things I cant do by myself you know.

I'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.

I want to keep making records as long as I can and that's the beginning and end of my concern about selling records.

I liked the idea of a self-contained, endless pursuit of perfection. But I have a problem with perfection. I don't think perfection is very artful. But there's something I liked about the image of a skater going in this endless twisted circle that doesn't have any real endpoint. So the object is not to stop or arrive anywhere; it's just to make this thing as beautiful as they can.

If I seem to be reckless with myself,It's the fault of no one.All things have a placeUnder the moon as well as the sun.

They say that God makes problems just to see what you can stand, before you do as the devil pleases.
