Hopefully I'm bringing to rock n' roll the kind of spontaneity that I love, and always believed rock and roll stands for.

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

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

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

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.

Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.
