Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.

No drug is a cure, though. Drugs are just big pieces of tape they stick over warning lights.

My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it's alternative, but you can't break out of pop music's constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.
