The best I can say is that it's better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It's better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily.

A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat.

Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.

The truth is overrated.

People like to see human error when it’s honest. When people see you swing and miss, they start to root for you.

It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies.
