I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition.

They want a return on their investment.

Americans have been dumbed down to the point where more people watching 'American Idol' than listen to the state of the union address. And that's too bad.

I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.

Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.

I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things that haunt us our entire lives we are unable to let them go. The good times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the times that didn't go so well.

After I left D.C. to join Black Flag, I felt I was in a band.

I think it's very sad that the political landscape is so dotted with religious extremists who feel the need to infringe upon the lives of decent, free and harmless Americans who want nothing more than to be in love and to spend the rest of their lives together.

'The Great Gatsby' is a book I have read a few times, and it seems to get heavier every time I come to visit.

One of the nice things about a favorite pop song is that it's an unconditional truce on judgment and musical snobbery. You like the song because you just do, and there need not be any further criticism.

This sounds really corny, but I am a slave to my work, a workaholic, and glad of it. I like what I do this is my place, my little universe, one of them.
