When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.

You know more about me than I do about myself, that's probably true.

The best songs I write in 20 minutes.

It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun.

Basically, between 1989 and 1994, I hadn't taken a vacation.

I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.

I'll always be making music. I'd like to do it my whole life - although I also love words and want to write short stories. But right now, my songs are kind of my short stories.
