My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

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.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.

I’m not going to say a damn word about it being tough; I’m having the best time of my life!

The sun is gone, but I have a light.

If it was up to me, I'd get more oil tanker drivers drunk. I don't value music much. I like the Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney. I like Led Zeppelin, but I hate Robert Plant. I like the Who, but I hate Roger Daltrey.

Rather be dead than cool.
