I've always craved to belong to somewhere, but I never have and never will.

I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

When do you know you're insane? And when do you known you're sane? I think I treat a fine line between the two. It's a battle to function, but somehow I manage.

I've always been an outsider; a displaced person.

Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
