Karma is not just about the troubles, but also about surmounting them.

I was more than just a moody artist.

I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.

I used to cut guitars out of a piece of cardboard to copy the Strat look. I used a backwards tennis racket for a while and graduated to the cardboard cutout.

There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.

I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.

I mean I was famous for nothing.
