Stay In School. Lie To Your Teachers,

When I've Tried To Reinvent The Wheel, I Get Bashed For Not Doing The Familiar Things.

Around The Mid-'90s Every Hair Guy Who Would Have Been In A Hair-metal Band Got His Tattoos And Suddenly Decided He Was Alternative. It Just Became Like A Thing.

I Don't Think People Are Fans Of Me Because I Wrote Hit Songs. I Think They're Fans Because I'm A Lunatic Or A Weirdo. The Hit Songs Came Out Of My Idiosyncratic Personality, Not The Other Way Around.

The Desire To Hit A Big Home Run Is Dominating The Music Business.

I Grew Up In The Suburbs And Basically Associate The Suburbs With Cultural Death.
