“Like everybody else, I love a good pop song. You know, there's nothing...” — Lee Ranaldo Quote

“Like everybody else, I love a good pop song. You know, there's nothing like it. I also just really like music that goes off on extended forays of extrapolation into different areas. So it's kind of nice to be able to move between those two poles.”

“When you listen to early Leonard Cohen records or Joni Mitchell records, you feel like a window is being opened into someone's life.”

“Signing to a major label was an experiment for us. It was a challenge: working in a big studio with a producer was a challenge in a lot of ways. It all shaped what the band went on to become through the '90s. After we made 'Goo,' we went out and toured with Neil Young in ice hockey arenas for three months, and that was the same kind of thing.”

“I have to keep doing me. I have to not look at what everybody else is doing, or what everybody else thinks should be happening right now.”

“I make a lot of my own clothes. I don't like wearing the same thing everybody else wears.”

“I was a fan like everybody else, even before I got called up for Scotland.”
