I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!

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.

Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.

Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.

Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.

I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.
