The least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to.

Live interaction with a crowd is a cathartic, spiritual kind of exchange, and its intensified at a festival.

People are always saying, 'You're really nice, I thought you were going to be a complete asshole.' I'm getting pretty fed up with it. I just want to say to them, 'Well I could always piss on your head.'

Frankly, I have always dreaded writing - there always seemed to be pain involved, unpleasant self-examination and a lot of fear.

I thought I'd reached the bottom a few times, but then I'd realise there was another 30 floors of despair below that.

I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything.

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.
