I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

I didn't have any intention of playing music for a living or anything like that. I was just not doing well in my head or whatever you call it and drinking too much.

Because I have something to say doesn't mean everyone has to take it too seriously or get too upset that it rubs them the wrong way.

Essentially any history we have is just a history of aristocrats. We don't have any history of people.

No race or civilization of people are just going to say, "Oh, instead of using real meat, let's just mash up a bunch of lymph nodes and put a bunch of weird stuff in it and pack it up in plastic cans and plastic bins, and let's eat that way. That'll be great." People don't choose that.

I play popular songs. This is not some obscure, unusual music. This is popular music.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.
