Everybody talking about being afraid of being boring is boring. You have to go for the real substance of life after awhile.

Harmony Korine, the screenwriter, was really into my early work. I did a lot of stuff under the name Sentridoh and a lot of 4-track cassette stuff that he was into.

I love Devo. There's nothing not to like.

At 12 or 13, I picked up a guitar because my mother made me learn how to play.

My experience with Dino Jr. proved that making new music was a worthwhile pursuit.

Don Henley is real fallback for awfulness.

With every performance I just feel more energized somehow. Like, this is how I exercise! This is how I feed my ego, by playing this loud rock music.

I think all food except for maybe pizza and Mexican food is better in Japan.

If you make a strange, eccentric record - like the Velvet Underground's 'White Light/White Heat' - it takes on its own mood because it's less about a shrewd marketing plan; it's more about an individual emotion.
