We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.

I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.

Experience really does make you better, man.

We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.

I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you.

That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then.

People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.

You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.

I don't want that boy to fall over for just a bird that forgot that her wings are broken.

Living the life you want is your ultimate responsibility

Limits are always extended, never broken.

I'm dying with you before I'm living without you.

There are phony teachers who profess all kinds of things, and I think you will figure out real fast who they are. They just don't feel right.

Two people in a relationship either grow together or apart over time.

Non virtuous behavior brings about unhappiness. Every time.

The real risk is not changing. I have to feel that I'm after something. If I make money, fine. But I'd rather be striving. It's the striving, man, it's that I want.

When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.

The Democrat Party loved the Soviet Union! The Democrat Party in the eighties and the seventies propped up the Soviet Union.
