Quote

The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

Most of our songs were written on acoustic guitar before they made it to the practice stage.

I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.

When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.

A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.

Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.

I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
