I can hardly understand the Australian accent.

Doolittle was a major influence on the Seattle grunge scene, which emerged in the early 1990s.

I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

It's easy. You draw a red line on the ground, right? Then you wait for a chicken to come along. When he arrives, he puts his beak right on the line and he's hypnotized!

The saddest thing is that when I sat down to rehearse for the Pixies, I couldn't believe that I had given up something that I loved. Now I hold the drum at night and I want to go to bed with it.

I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds. That's really about it - I don't gravitate towards it, I try to move away from it.

I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossanova. It's very warm-sounding to me - lush and simple. I like that.
