I wasn’t thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time, at the time, I thought I was inventing a new sound that would change the whole outlook of music. I’ve discovered in the last few years that it was just the Seattle Sub Pop sound.

If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Here we are now, entertain us.

No matter what you do or say, there's nothing that you can do to make people understand you.

If you guys throw one more shoe or one more coin, I'm just going to leave my guitar next to my amp and there's going to be massive feed back for an hour.

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar - hide in the back and just play.
