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.

I must always march on in my life. What's done is done.

I call my wife and talk to my children four or five times a day. I've surrounded myself with great people and friends, plus I'm always willing to make amends.

My idols have always stuck to their guns and said what they want to do.

Love is my family. I would die for them.

You just have to follow your own heart. I listen to so many different kinds of music and at the end of the day you want to make a record that you're super proud of.

I think that part of my success was the fact that I would literally threaten your life if you got in-between me and what I wanted to do with my music. I was so drunk and in-your-face and so ADHD and so unhinged that I kind of got what I wanted.
