I'm not dying for everyone to hear everything we do. Forty minutes every two years is sensible.

I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for.

I hated it so much as a child. I just didn't like it when punk bands went metal, it really bothered me. It was happening left and right in the 1980s. It started I think with D.C. bands - G.I., Soul Side, they went metal. Right at that time, R.E.M. was coming out, these more kinda feminine bands, and I was more drawn to that than to go metal. And you remember MTV, with the bad metal. But even Metallica, it just wasn't my direction.

Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.

I still hate [the Eagles]…. There’s levels of evil in it to me.

I've lost my writing skills since college. I couldn't write a book. It would take a long time.

I'm better when I'm an autodidact and things just come. Or you're just blessed. I'm not bragging or anything, it just comes to you.
