Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies. But the rest of the world, I don't need to apologize to them. My life doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the world.

I was just a kid in 1987 when I heard of the Pixies, the year after I graduated high school. But I had my band together, and my best friend at the time, Corey Hickock, who was the guitar player in the band that would become STP, Mighty Joe Young, turned me on to the Pixies.

Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.

As I've gotten older and my life is a lot more stable, I've gotten more into storytelling.

To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love - the ones that influenced me.

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.

As horrible as jail was, there were some first-rate guys in there.

Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.
