People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title.

You my friend,I will defend,and if we change well, I love you anyway.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

A lot of power-pop comes out of LA, a lot of speed metal comes out of New York.

I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.

We try to be real nice and friendly to people, but sometimes they take advantage of that.
