If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.

I think we're heading into the Creative Age. We've passed through the Agricultural and then the Industrial and then the Information Age.

I grabbed my drummer's cymbal in my teeth just as he crashed down on it with his sticks-I blacked out. I was a punk in those days. It was in Seattle. I still have all my teeth too, it's amazing.

When I lived in Seattle and Oregon, we partied, which is a large reason I don't know drugs or alcohol now because I saw the Destruction of so many great musicians and artists.

You don't realize 'till you get here what a moment in history you're a part of.

The most spiritual place you can be in your life is when youre being very real, when youre not allowing everybody and everything to influence your decisions and your moods, and whats morally right or ethically right.

I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.
