I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson

I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.

I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love.

I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.

I am always writing; if you want to survive in this business, you need to keep working, keep creating and never stop the output.

I'm 33 and in my "Jesus year," and I want it all right now. I want a perfect body. I want to have a perfect love affair. I want every member of my family to be healthy and happy. And I want the world to save itself and for America to realize that it has to give up its idea of being an empire. Wait until I hit 40; then it'll all come crumbling down.

Putting all of my time In learning to care And a bucket of rhymes I threw up somewhere Want a locket of who Made me lose my perfunctory view Of all that is around And of all that I do.
