What people don't realize is that the so-called Seattle grunge scene grew out of several close-knit gourmet supper clubs - we would only pick up guitars to pass the time while our dishes were simmering, baking, boiling, etc.

I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.

I'm thought of as this pissy, complaining, freaked-out schizophrenic who wants to kill himself all the time.

It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings.

I just don't like to get intimate. I don't want anyone to know what I feel and what I think, and if they can't get some kind of an idea of what sort of person I am through my music, then that's too bad.

I didn't know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.

I'm on my time with everyone.
