I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums, unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife.

I write about my life and the lives of people around me and situations, and the idea's for each record to try to make you a better person, to understand the life that you lead more.

It's fun to toy around with press stuff a little bit, because in many ways it's not a real world.

I think music is a selfish masturbatory event - for the listener, the maker, the candlestick...maker.

I'm not a militant, drug-taking freak! I'm sensitive.

I've been playing live gigs since I was 13. I really don't know how to do anything else, and please God strike me down.

I like when people take chances.
