Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.

For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

I don't want fans to think we're clean, upstanding American boys, but we are Americans, and we do stand up.

I don't need to speak...I play the guitar!

I think that's really important, that kids get exposed to music as soon as they can - not necessarily to become musicians, but at least have an outlet. It's an art form that's easily accessible to young ears.

I collect firearms, and I've got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it's got feathers and beads hanging off it. It's like a work of art.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
