I was a very repressed young person. I wasn't good at school. I didn't fit in.

She touches me The jungle lights up with incinerating fire Looks like a flaming serpent I look into her eyes I see a movie flickering Car crashes People kicking corpses Men ripping their tracheas out and shaking them at the sky I think to myself: I don’t want to survive this one I want to burn up in the wreckage Cooking flesh in the jungle

Where there is young people and vitality, you're going to find punk rock.

If it were a choice between me getting killed or one of my friend's kids, I would happily take the shot.

And I laugh at myself when I screw things up, which happens all the time.

Somewhere, someone isn’t impressed by your looks. Not all men jump through the hoops of your fire. You’re unbelievably boring to more people than you’ll ever know.

Dinosaur Jr. in their live capacity are a band that put me in a state of such overwhelming rock that it often takes quite a while to come down.
