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.

I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.

All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my rent.

I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them.

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 was home-schooled. But going to high school, I never would've been able to travel the U.S. or been able to do acting.
