If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.

I'm not exactly ambitious as much as I have a very good realization of what I am and what I am capable of.

I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization looks like.

All I can do is just do stuff while I am alive and hopefully that track record will speak for itself.

There's no such thing as an ex-junkie.

I'm just shallow and self-interested, and don't get out much because I'm afraid of real commitments.

There's tons of junk food for your mind on the Internet. You can sit there for three or 10 or 20 hours a day getting in online arguments with other people who also choose to waste their time.
