You know, being in a rock band, you can't overdo the costume changes too much because everyone thinks, oh, that's not a real rock band. Look how many times he changes costumes. That's not rock. Rock's about going on in a T-shirt and staying in it and getting it all dirty. But that's not really my approach.

You can't always get what you want.

I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.

The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.

When you write songs, you have to like them yourself first, but then you have to make everyone else like them, because you can force them to play it, but you can't force them to like it.

I don't want to be my extravert self all the time.

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.
