I'm a good solid family man. I don't say I'm a good solid man.

When you're growing up you need your parents, but you don't want to be associated with them because you're trying to have your own life.

The worst thing your parents can do is try to emulate you.

Soundgarden and Metallica, The Ramones, Everclear... I think they all wanted to see if we still knew how to play.

I always thought I wrote good bridges. I was a bit more impressed with the bridges I wrote than maybe the songs I wrote.

I'm quite an example. I have four kids, all from the same wife, all from the same husband.

Every person I've ever met always thinks their parents are weird.
