You can't be, like, smashing guitars against Marshall stacks all the time. As a matter of fact, after a while, it just looks like posing - it never really gets down to any message or any real expression.

Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.

I don't know any artists that are really emotionally well adjusted. In fact, I think we're all pretty much insane.

'Grace' is basically a death prayer. Not something of sorrow, but of just casting away any fear of death. No relief will come - you really just have to stew in your life until it's time to go. But sometimes, somebody else's faith in you can do wonders.

People have a certain perfection about them, no matter who they are. Like when Janis Joplin sang. Gorgeous!

No matter what one looks at and finds temporarily pleasing, it can never be as beautiful as just a tree, really.
