I have to make rock records occasionally.

Even the bands I dig don't have a history of attaining mass consumption.

So many times I thought to myself, man, I never want to do drugs again. But I would never sacrifice any experience I've ever had on them, and I am not remorseful that I've done them. I would like to get more and more away from drugs.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.

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.

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