Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.

I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida.

Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own.

I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.

I just saw metal as another tool for me to use.

What you hear about the band is always going to be more disturbing than any particular song.

It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.

Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.

I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.

Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.

I hadn't yet come to terms with the man my father was, or the lives he'd destroyed. But I accepted that he was part of me, and that he'd loved me once.

What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.

What do they call that hat Jewish guys always wear? A Yankees cap.

The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.

I think my ex-girlfriend has weekly lessons with the devil on how to be more evil. I don't know what she charges him.

The zest of life lies in right doing, not in the garnered harvest.

I'm totally inhibited. When I'm overweight I will not go out.

I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.

I've come to believe that beauty can be a very powerful conveyor of difficult ideas.

At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
