I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.

There's something in life that's cool, it's relatively cheap, and fun, and populist. Even when it's elitist.

I don't want to be in Mötley Crüe or something.

You know, it's people's lives, so as you get a little older, your own life narrative, I guess, invades a little more. It's not like we're traveling in separate buses to each show. It's a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it. Maybe someone's gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason - that could happen, I guess.

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 think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.

Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.
