Bob Dylan led me to this kind of music - and it's his and ours. And it's nobody else's.

The trouble, dollIs not moving mountains, butDigging the ground that you're on

I'm allowing myself every opportunity, every tool that every other artist should allow themselves to use. If anybody expects me to not use certain language or certain words, like I have some kind of penalty restriction, it's completely unrealistic.

There's only one thing that's certainAnd that's everybody, everybody's hurting

It doesn't always have a shape,Almost never does it have a name,It maybe has a pitchfork, maybe has a tail,But evil is alive and well.

I'm waiting for my kids to grow up and get into the Offspring and look at me like I'm a total candy-ass.

I always saw songwriting as the top of the heap. No matter what else you were going to do creatively... writing songs was king.
