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 think the notion of understanding each other is a relief. It's not a thing you get with everyone you hang out with.

I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

I think everyone is trying to figure out who they are and their own thing.

When you try to put everything into music, there's no room left to try to make you think we're cool. We know you think we're cool.

The beauty's in the scars.

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