It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.

I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.

I enjoy having some boundaries to work within. That's why I generally don't like alternate tunings and stuff like that. I like the boundaries of regular tunings.

People have to do what they want to do.

I have a couple of gold teeth. I had braces for a year but I didn't wear the retainer.

I prefer cynical people. Nice guys grow on trees.

I don't have any tattoos but I've thought about getting Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, on my earlobe. He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes.
