Even to survive and have everyone in good health now is really precious. Bands half our age don't even get that lucky sometimes. It's good to practice gratitude, as they say. I used to be so ungracious, I wasn't even aware that I should be feeling grateful! Now I actually try and put it into my daily thought: Be grateful. It's not always so easy.

I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.

It is so hard for musicians when they step into acting is they're not coming in as a blank slate, they're coming in with a real set idea of who they are, where they're coming from, what their politics are, what their tastes are.

I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.

I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.

One day I realized that it didn't matter whether people loved me or not.
