I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.

I look at my kids as the Harry Potter Generation. There's a sense of justice about that, in beating Voldemort. It's a classic tale of good versus evil. To have a role model like Harry Potter that says you can defeat evil, but still be a complicated human being. That gives me a lot of hope.

Bush, as far as I'm concerned, is a war criminal. With Trump, we have no idea. Right now it's just a freak show.

When I listen to songs, I can smell a rat. I like songs that speak to me with some deeper truth.

For me, when you get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there's a side of me that goes, "What does that mean? Are you still relevant after that? Do they put you on the shelf along with the award?" I don't know, but that's the last thing we wanted.

All my religious beliefs are based on Star Wars.

I love our country. My dad served in the army. I always grew up with a song sense of belonging as an American. But I was also in the counterculture and I was coming from a place of fearing the police. So I was anti-establishment, but also loving your country. It's kind of an ironic sort of upbringing.
