The formats have changed so much, and even if you look at alternative music today, most of it isn't really that alternative. It's just good, strong, modern music.

I'm looking to evolve the concept of the new renaissance artist, taking the world by storm through the art of public display and demonstration, with technical savvy, using cell phones and computers.

I mean, gosh, my first tours I ever did were with the Ramones and Iggy Pop and Love & Rockets.

I love being able to escape my past, even though my past was great.

The live concert industry has become corporate-ized.

If you're not part of the freaks, you're part of the boredom.

If you want a friend, feed any animal.
