For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

I'd rather give up my ears than my eyes, which might sound unusual for a musician.

I love American ski resorts because they're open to everyone, are not incredibly expensive. They're not snobby and you can have fun all day long on the most excellent mountains.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

I always knew the Sixties wasn't a revolution. It really was just a bunch of university students with wealthy parents having fun.

I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.
