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

The absence of a bass player always makes things go faster and hit harder in the high-end range.

Basically I'm always singing about the same stuff whether it's in a loud or quiet outfit.

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 make music to move people and you don't get to pick who you move. You just don't. It's exclusionary and elitist and I just never felt that way about music, of all things. The great unifier.

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

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