For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.

I have the integrity of a teenager and that's never going to be stolen from me. I'm the original virgin.

If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.

I don't like the monikers, and I don't like being pigeonholed. You know, I'm a human being.

Obama's dense as a doorbell; not much going on up there - it's a wooden top.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

I've always despised the hippies.
