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

When you get a chance to play with people - informally is one thing, but when you hook up and make something that's going to last or mean something to someone, I take it very seriously.

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

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

I've always been a fan of album covers with no writing on them and have used them a lot in my own groups.

You're charging money to have people come watch you play; I want them to feel taken someplace good or provoked into thinking my way for an hour and a half or two hours.

I'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.
