Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it's alternative, but you can't break out of pop music's constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

Popular music sucks so bad right now.

I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant.

We need a day of the dead. That's a perfect celebration.

Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

Looks like Kelsey wins the award for early riser. And doesn’t she look purtier than a pat of butter meltin’ all over a stack of griddle cakes?

Pain is just the price we pay to feel

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

Movies that look safe are less interesting.

Who you're becoming is far more important than what you're doing, and yet, it is what you're doing that is determining who you're becoming.

Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew.

Fire on anything that moves on the river.

All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.

The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end.

The world is in motion, as it seems.
