“I was brought up by four older sisters, so there's trouble right there...” — John Rzeznik Quote

“I was brought up by four older sisters, so there's trouble right there. We are Catholic, very religious, and that sort of colors my world and my music.”

“Sometimes it doesn't feel like I'm in control but that I'm going along for the ride. And I'm a lousy passenger; I love to drive.”

“There's a certain vibe in my hometown; Buffalo is a city that has no illusions.”

“My grandfather was Catholic; my grandmother, Jewish. Crossing over from Bavaria, as immigrants to the United States, the ship started to sink. My grandmother jumped overboard. My grandfather followed, to save this girl he had never met.”

“I think the Catholic faith is consistent with the kind of conservatism I believe in.”

“In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.”
