My love for the band is still there. It hasn't changed, maybe that's why it's so painful these days.

My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.

I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.

I was making guitars and I was a sheet metal worker and if you ever see sheet metal workers' hands, you've never seen so many cuts in your life.

I have to tell you, and I don't mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.

Unless you've been touched personally, it's difficult to see, but there are millions of people who have no voice whatsoever.
