The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.

We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others.

I enjoy songwriting. It's slow-motion improvising.

I always reference 'Mad Max' when I think about what I want to wear. But it's a fine line between that and 'Edward Scissorhands'.

I don’t shake at the site of alcohol anymore. I don’t feel the need for it. If anything I’ll get stoned. I always told myself if it got to the point that it was affecting my songwriting and music that I’d stop. And it did get to the point.

Doing heroin is like walking around with a terrorist as your friend. It's like taking a terrorist around to parties You never know when it's going to blow up on you.

But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.
