To me not one thing is better than anything else, I'm completely proud of everything I've written and recorded.

I'm going to keep thinking about topping myself every time. I can say very confidently that Alice In Chains have done that on every record. It surprises me. I don't go in there expecting that, but I do go in there hoping for it.

There's not a word that describes us. We’re not alternative, metal or grunge - we’re not any of that. We’re just what we are.

I've never been a big soloist; I just put in what needs to be there. I'm more of a rhythm player who plays lead - or tries to play lead.

Times change and you have to adapt.

Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence.

That's always been a dream for me, to be able to collaborate and make music with the people that inspired you to make music.
