I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.

But for me if I'm gonna read about something I'd rather read a pamphlet or the instructions to a synthesizer than a book on Buddhism.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.
