“You want a drumstick? Like a ice cream cone or a chicken wing!?”

Some times I need to apologize, sometimes I need to admit that I ain’t right, sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello, sometimes I still feel I’m walking alone.

That was the hard part of having kids: trying to be on their schedule, then fighting to get to sleep while they are sleeping.

I’m always a work in progress.

When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.

Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.

I’m a songwriter-I’m obligated to keep pushing myself.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don’t think what you’re doing is punk rock.

When you start getting into your politics it’s like you have to be vulnerable and you have to be sort of sensitive. Because if it’s always like straight aggression all the time, there becomes no empathy for the stance that you’re taking.

Music to me is the air I breathe it’s the blood that pumps through my veins that keeps me alive

The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.

We’ve been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.

I just open my mouth and out it comes.

We are not afraid to be entertainers.

When someone is in a car accident and they’re driving at 100 mph, drunk, who’s tape do you think his listening to at that time? Think about it.

Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

The main thing about the character [in the Ordinary World] is that he loves music, and he shares it with his daughter. He’s having a mid-life moment, and it’s a small moment, really.

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

I try to work out my mind more these days. I try to eat right. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I take the skin off chicken. But I’m not on no special diet. I like my steak and potatoes, ice cream, doughnuts.

Chicken fizz! O Lord, protect all of us who toil in the vineyards of experimental chemistry!

My family and I reside on a non-working farm, although we have a couple of horses and the usual stuff like pigs, cows, and chickens.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

When I’m out, maybe I’m looking at the fried chicken, but I know I need to order the grilled.

I try to eat a lot of baked foods, fish, chicken, potatoes, stuff like that. Grab me a Muscle Milk. That helps.

It’s not just the end of a chicken leg, it really is – imagine the cartilage of game meat.
