“No, we have to support our local artists. It’s just that simple. Otherwise, we will have no art.”

I had to do another couple of albums about this idiot. Then I had to play in front of 37 people. It was horrible. I was crying. I was freaked out.

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’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.

From the most simple local regulations to the highest law of the land, our federal Constitution.

I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, ‘Flying Fingers,’ debuted.

It is the local community that needs to own the commitment to education.

You are a cosmic happening rooted in a local event, NOT the other way around.

Choosing leaf or flesh, factory farm or family farm, does not in itself change the world, but teaching ourselves, our children, our local communities, and our nation to choose conscience over ease can.

I try to make myself do things for other people when I’m feeling down. Like, you can call your local hospital and help out in the pediatric unit.

For a knowledge of intimacy, localization in the spaces of our intimacy is more urgent than determination of dates.
