It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun.

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.

The horror had begun.

When you start thinking you're a big shot, you wash more feet.

Never give up; for even rivers someday wash dams away.

I never really lost a game in my career, sometimes I just ran out of time.

No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from.

People who are under certain stress have aquariums. Aquariums are classically either a reproduction of nature or a decorative element, like the ones you can see in big hotels.

I'm a TV junkie. I'm always flipping through channels.

Don't let fear decide your future.

The fall from your dream into reality is especially hard when you've seen that you can fly.

The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
