Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

We do this basically for ourselves. People appreciate it, which is cool, but I think they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not up to us. We like it.

I'm always feeling like I don't belong, no matter where I am. So I'm just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I'm doing some French TV show with the president's wife.

Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?

Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.

I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.

If I hadn't had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
