Total peace after death, becoming someone else, is the best hope I've got.

When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band.

There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

I don’t have the passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

The sun is gone, but I have a light.

Alternative music is no longer alternative once it’s in the mainstream.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.
