So much of rock lyrics is just a mirror of real feeling. It doesn't feel dangerous to me. They just feel like "rock lyrics."

There's no reason to stop. Who knows what's around the bend? To participate, meet new people. It's mostly other musicians and people like you, or anybody I meet who's in this, that keeps me going.

I'm not dying for things to say.

[As a frontman ] I'm going to wear leather pants and get blowjobs in the studio. That would be nice. They are definitely not cool, but I like them. I don't listen to them, but I like them when I hear them on the radio, normally.

Usually [the lyrics] go from one word to the next word - there's no finish line. The music was that way, too.

You can change the world, but if no one's listening, it doesn't matter.

If there can be some paradigm shift thing that you can be part of, that's cool.
