When I perform, I like to immerse myself in the music, and I just try to get off on the diversity of music.

I really like to write, so I can just relax and think about things and realize things and then try to express it on my computer.

But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.

And Seattle isn't really crazy anymore. It's a big dot-com city.

I wanted to stimulate thought instead of throwing things out or try to give a perspective. I just put stuff up and it's up for two or three weeks and I get tired of it, so I take it down and put something else up.

If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar.

I'm really into Sweet 75 right now, and I dig playing Nirvana, don't get me wrong. Even if Kurt never died, more than likely I'd be in Sweet 75 today still.
