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.

I get a thrill meeting kids who are into alternative music.

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

The worst crime I could think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.

Holding Frances in my arms is the best drug in the world.

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.
