I would much rather be the obnoxious feminist girl than be complicit in my own dehumanization.

I have tons of friends in the heavy-metal music world, and just going to see them inspires me.

I think the church and the religion right now have a lot more to be worried about than SLAYER.

So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

Throughout the years I have tried to hone my skills to gain mastery over the music in my head.

I want to do something different, really different, and if it alienates people that's too bad.

If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.

I don't feel pressure to act like other people or rap like other people, because I just can't.

We feel more comfortable rocking a comedy room as opposed to laughing it up with a rock crowd.

Whenever I see a girl in tie dye twirling, I'll say yes. I've arrived. I'm in the right place.

The spine should be empty so that energy moves up and down. I always felt this way as a child.

I just wrote a book, but don't go out and buy it yet, because I don't think it's finished yet.

We're a rock band. We're proud of it. We're not an art band, a noise band, or an extreme band.

We got our first significant pieces of press in the 'New York Rocker' from early gigs at CBGB.

That was when the Spanish came in and conquered the Aztecs. I thought that was a clever thing.

I aim my arrangements at what will fit and colorfully frame the song in the best way possible.

I don't fool with a lot of things that I can't have fun with. There's not much reward in that.

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums.

I'm not like John Lennon, who thought he was the great Almighty. I just think I'm John Lennon.

Coming back to Dinosaur Jr. and actually writing songs for the band was really intense for me.

That's what I've figured out over the years - the way I write makes people feel uncomfortable.

If you're religious or not, the world and society lacks as much of community spirit as it had.

I just think that a metal band covering a bunch of metal songs is so boring, so 'done before.'

I usually wake up far after breakfast. So I have no other choice but to go straight to dinner.

Make yourself do something stupid so when you really do something stupid you won't feel so bad

Every single day that you walk outside your house is something new and different and exciting.

I don't mind talking about the Dixie Chicks, because I feel like it's still alive and kicking.

My dad was a scratch golfer growing up. When I'm on the road, I always bring my clubs with me.

Because obviously the whole purpose of putting records out is purely and simply to make money.

I don't hold any kind of grudges for anything, and you never know what will happen at anytime.

Just because you can thrill a toddler by chewing with your mouth open doesn’t mean you should.

I've been there and done all that, sold millions of records, and that doesn't bring you peace.

We're all looking for those moments - a relief. That's why people go out and treat themselves.

Any performer is one person privately and then he's another person when he steps on the stage.

I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs.

It's no use analyzing your life the whole time. Those analyses won't help you when you're dead

I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.

If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if it's good or bad.

Man, you don't know how I felt that afternoon when I heard that VOICE and it was my own VOICE.

Progression is going forwards. Going backwards is regression. Going sideways is just gression.

My son ain't going to be miserable because he's going to be the child of a rock star, the end.

I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.

I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.

Nobody can tell you how the blues feel unless they have the blues. We all take it differently.

When Marty Short and I get together, I sit down at the piano and play the score of 'Godspell.'

When I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

I mean, gosh, my first tours I ever did were with the Ramones and Iggy Pop and Love & Rockets.

Babyshambles were offered some money to have a comeback. Good band, they were - amazing tunes.
