I didn't really know Kurt that well, but there was a guy I always admired. We didn't spend much time together, but the few times we did spend together, you know, were times I'll always remember. You know, he was a really sweet guy, and a really genuine soul, you know, and an incredibly talented artist.

You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally.

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

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

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.

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.

Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.
