I'd much rather talk to a 30-year old that survived rough times in their lives [practicing Straight Edge] rather than someone that was harmed by a culture of violence.

I'm all for file sharing. That's great - as long as people are prepared for the significant consequences. One is that music will become completely couched in advertising. That's already happened. And another is that people should be prepared to have fun with the past because the only music that can possibly be free is the music that's from the past. It costs money to make music. And if people are prepared to only have the past to listen to, then let it be free.

I do not consider myself a teddybear. Just to be clear, I don't feel sorry for myself.

There's also a lot of skateboard stuff, because I was a skateboarder. Somewhere around here I have one of my original boards.

Ultimately, I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I'm trying to be a construction worker. I'm trying to make things. If people are not interested in that, fine. I just don't give a damn.

It's so interesting that humanity has to be defined by emotional strife or something. I don't buy into that.
