Working with different people and do things that normally I would not do makes the music interesting for me to continue. It keeps me alive. When I'm doing something alone, that is mine, I know how it is. But when I'm working with someone else, I also see the view from the other, and usually learn something new, try something different. This is very important to my happiness.

The more years you put behind you, hopefully making music that surpasses what you did before, you're playing bigger places and it kind of weirdly becomes a business.

You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.

I think a myth is created from truth.

I never knew Kurt to be suicidal. I just knew that he was going through a really tough time.

Anything lower than mid-six figures is not going to get me interested in that. And honestly, I just don't want to.

I have been a provoker and I'll probably always be one in the public arena for the rest of my life.
