We like where we live and we wanna participate in our neighbourhoods and communities and stuff and try to- we're not like benevolent- it's pretty basic.

I think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music, and when he went to a place he didn't go to play, he went to conquer.

I don't know how you can go your whole life and not listen once to Bob Marley - what's the point?

Nirvana was like that- Nirvana was like the only band to come out of that- it was like the same thing, Seattle was like this whole scene and it was like this big scene that was thrust upon America.

I mean people have compared us to like the Grateful Dead and all these like psychedelic sixties bands.

For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.

I think that you really don't have a choice, when you see that things are wrong the only choice you really have is to just do what you can to make it better.
