I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.

My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had

Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend. It would look ridiculous to do what we're doing now when I'm 40. That's why I want to destroy my career before it's too late.

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.

I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships.

I really miss being able to blend in with people.

There is nothing I like more than pure underground music
