Like Everybody, I'm Making Up My Life

I'm Going To Keep Thinking About Topping Myself Every Time. I Can Say Very Confidently That Alice In Chains Have Done That On Every Record. It Surprises Me. I Don't Go In There Expecting That, But I Do Go In There Hoping For It.

In '98, I Locked Myself In My House, Went Out Of My Mind And Wrote 25 Songs. I Rarely Bathed During That Period Of Writing; I Sent Out For Food, I Didn't Really Venture Out Of My House In Three Or Four Months. It Was A Hell Of An Experience. The Album Is An Overview Of Birth To Now.

Times Change And You Have To Adapt.

That's Always Been A Dream For Me, To Be Able To Collaborate And Make Music With The People That Inspired You To Make Music.

Our Music's Kind Of About Taking Something Ugly And Making It Beautiful.
