I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.

When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night.

I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.

Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right?

It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.

See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue.
