Lots of people can have girlfriends. But I can throw around guitars onstage! That'll be my epitaph: 'He never had a girlfriend, but you should've seen him smash a Les Paul!'

I become irritated when I am being written off as aloof or stand-offish when I'm shy and don't know what to say.

Jumping through any hoop or taking advantage of any desperate situation that comes up just to sell a product is harmful. It is.
