“I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same tim...” — Kurt Cobain Quote

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

Rather be dead than cool.

My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I've had. And now that I'm in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won't be half as much anger as there was.

Sometimes I wish I had taken the Bob Dylan route and sang songs where my voice would not go out on me every night, so I could have a career if I wanted.

It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings.

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not, I think it's just being reasonable.

Out here in California, in the Pacific Ocean, the sharks have a bad attitude.

Surfers have the most attitude.

And I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don't play that... My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.

Contracts are not a holy relic in football. You can like this attitude or not, but it's the truth. Sometimes you have to think about if it is meaningful to try out a new impulse.
