Ain't that America, home of the free? Little pink houses for you and me.

I'm not a nostalgic person. I'm not nostalgic about much of anything.

I fight authority and authority always wins.

Take 'Jack and Diane.' I was so disgusted with people thinking the line 'Hold on to sixteen as long as you can' meant to stay a teenager forever. What I meant was keep doing whatever makes you feel alive.

Sometimes love don't feel like it should, you make it hurt so good.

Back in the '80s and '90s, when there was still a record business, there was pressure on anyone who was fortunate to have a few hits on a major label to continue that success.

To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.
