I think theres something strangely musical about noise.

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!'

To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.

I think if there was an ISP tax of some sort, we can say to the consumer, 'All music is now available and able to be downloaded and put in your car and put in your iPod and put up your a-- if you want and it's $5 on your cable bill.'

I've become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.

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

I'm kind of forced to get out of what might feel more natural and comfortable.
