 But ya have to make videos in the States. Usually ours just look too serious. We haven't got it together. |
| I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night. |
| I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think. |
| I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again. |
| I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them. |
| Basically, between 1989 and 1994, I hadn't taken a vacation. |
| When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later. |
| My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content. |
| It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun. |
| When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence. |
| I don't like alcohol, but I still like to mess around with other stuff occasionally. I think it's important I take mushrooms and acid. They're certainly not addictive, so I can't rule that out. |
| Since Elizabeth, I certainly live a healthier lifestyle. |
| I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting. |
| CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything. |
| Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right? |
| I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure. |
| But Sneaky Pete was great. I didn't bug him about Gram. Not too much, anyway. |
| Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I'm going to be a lot stricter from now on. |
| When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em. |
| For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead. |
