I enjoy listening to the albums of my youth as much as ever.

I have no interest in emo. I'm all about rap metal.

With each step I take, I see that my ability to perform gets a little better. So until it starts getting worse, I'm going to keep moving forward.

I think there is a very subtle shift from the metal I grew up on to Weezer. I think the big shift was from a minor key to a major key. That made a huge difference in how it was perceived.

It could appear that I'm some kind of natural genius, but it's just a million small lessons I've picked up over the years.

I never feel guilty about liking music.

It is cool to have a label head that is also a songwriter, in a band, and produces records.

I'm constantly fighting with my manager to reduce the amount of time I have to spend on promotional activities, so I can get back in the studio and work on new music.

Most of the songs I write just very directly from my life. I don't have a big imagination. Whenever I tried to write from fantasy, it comes out sounding really fake.

If enough people out there want a physical product, I'll be happy to make one. I'd say about 10,000 people is "enough."

Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the USA' kills me with jealousy. The melodies are out-of-control beautiful.

All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.

I wish you the best that can be hoped for, and no worse than can be expected.

Liar's such a strong word. I prefer to think of it as me omitting some of the details" - Alex

If we live long enough, we may even get over war. I imagine a time when somebody will mention the word war and everyone in the room will start to laugh. And what do you mean war?

Aikido is based on the projection of love.

Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne

Listen with ears of tolerance! See through the eyes of compassion! Speak with the language of love

Are you crying? There's no crying. There's no crying in baseball.

Now the dark air is like fire on my skin, And even the moonlight is blinding
