I get to see the world and try to make people happy. I'm very much of a wandering spirit, if you'll pardon the expression.

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.

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.

I’ve had a tense couple of days. And I’ve got to tell you, burning someone’s face off sounds like a great way to relax.

Never share your most important secret with a person in deep love, for the partner will get to hear of it." -Oppong Amankwaa

There was a freshness about her that the surrounding harsh landscape had failed to eliminate

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.

What we play is life.

Check your spiritual birth certificate, you were made in the mighty image of God.

And whilst he may not claim superiority by reason of learning, I myself must not withold that meed of homage that learning, wherever it resides, always commands.

I've got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again.

We don't owe the blacks a damn thing, anyway.

It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks.
