“Art is commenting on what’s going on around you in your life.”

I’d rather live life than watch somebody else living it.

It certainly is gravy every day above ground right now, after kicking that heroin habit.

Rock n roll is for the young idiots, not an old fart like me.

In the 70s, what thrash was there? Punk came on, and that was cool. But there was no thrash.

Radiohead’s already got their yachts and mansions. Sharon Osbourne already has her empire

Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs.

I’ve never seen the Osbournes, I’ve never seen Paris Hilton. I’d rather read than watch reality TV.

I’d still prefer to do five nights at a club than one night at Allstate Arena.

When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released “Money”, it wouldn’t even get played.

We try to give the fans a bunch of free stuff, and then have them buy the record. Without buying the record, it doesn’t support your artist.

People who have freaked out as Trump points the blame on Mexicans when you have what you have in Europe.

We just did three albums in a row of shaking our fists in the air and yelling about George W.Bush and the government.

There are people all over the world starving and here we are trying to get pot delivered for free; we felt kind of guilty.

Ian MacKaye was in London while I was living there. We both decided that even though we had very different lifestyles.

I didn’t think I was going to have to do three, but the idiot kept getting reelected.

I got my influences from 70s bands – Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah.

It is my dying wish to travel around the world; to feel this hurt in a slightly different way!

There is entirely too much charm around, and something must be done to stop it.

Be around people that make your problems seem smaller and the possibility of life much bigger.

If you keep quiet and claim that your silence speaks, you’re silently part of the cruelty that goes around you. Thus make your voice sing.

Sometimes the words just fall out of me when I’m around you. So there’s no need to say I’m talented, I’m just lucky to have you as my muse.

Here lies one who knew how to get around him, men who were cleverer than himself

Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.

Well, come gather around and I’ll sing you a song, about a crazy old world that’s coming along.
