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

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

I really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.

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.

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

The pleasure of other people is a byproduct of the pleasure that comes from yourself so I cannot judge or look down on someone who does whatever they feel like doing.
