Seeing my children makes me come most alive. I come home and I see my kids' faces light up when they see me at the door with my guitar case. They run to me, we hug. I never go beyond a few weeks without being in their presence, so they have adjusted quite well.

Nirvana's amazing, but they're just never going to find another one, there's no artist development anymore, you're never going to have a U2, you're never going to have a Bruce Springsteen, those guys didn't make it off of their first single and real artists probably won't make it off of their first singles.

To speak up and stand by my guns the entire time...To stand by my methodology. That's why I kind of made myself the producer.

The problem is that corporations have way too much power in Congress and the government and they're rigging the system so that they don't pay taxes, but we do. We pay for all these crazy wars they come up with.

I care about this crazy little planet and I would love to make a difference.

Everywhere I go I'm always spotted on the streets.

My wife and children are the greatest force that keeps me sober and strong.
