But Sneaky Pete was great. I didn't bug him about Gram. Not too much, anyway.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.

I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting.

I don't like alcohol, but I still like to mess around with other stuff occasionally. I think it's important I take mushrooms and acid. They're certainly not addictive, so I can't rule that out.

When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.

I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.

My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content.

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.

Love cannot be hidden. It even shines in the darkest places." ~ Carla Olson Gade, The Shadow Catcher's Daughter

Because beauty consits of it's own passing, just as we reach for it. It's the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you can see both their movement and their death.

Spend more time with people who bring out the best in you.

The truth is, rarely can a response make something better - what makes something better is connection.

Life would be pretty boring if we didn't have vices.

Remember me not for the ill I've done but for the good I've dreamed.

Souls and bodies should go on together.

Deeds and seeds, take their own time to fructify.

If something is not to your liking, change your liking.
