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

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.

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.

I saw all the suffering that Kurt Cobain went through. I saw this real vibrant person turn into a real shy, timid, withdrawn person.

There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.

I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.

It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.
