Record companies would rather you stay dumb, not even think of it as a business, so they can either rip you off or get you out of the way in five years to make way for the new groups.

It's the easiest way to stay in the game: By helping the younger kids, they're gonna preach for you.

Style is whatever you want to do, if you can do it with confidence.

I think a lot of people really have religious overtones of having come from somewhere. I mean, even the whole concept of religion is kind of alien.

When I hear music that parents hate, or older musicians hate, I know that's the new music. When I hear older people saying, 'I hate Rap or Techno' I rush to it.

I pick up on styles, way before they get popular, pretty much before young kids do. I see 'em coming.

You can rebel against everything adults say. When I want to find out what the new music is, I find out what parents hate.
