“I'm not glamorous, I don't know how to look cool, and I don't have any...” — John Popper Quote

“I'm not glamorous, I don't know how to look cool, and I don't have any angst.”

“There's a lot of struggling and a lot of activity going on in my playing. Blues Traveler adopted that style. People will say we play too many notes. That's what they said about Amadeus.”

“I use the songwriting as medicine to kind of help me summarize how I'm feeling so that I can get past it.”

“I was the kind of reader in smudged pink harlequin glasses sitting on the cool, dusty floor of the Arrandale public library, standing at the edge of the playground, having broken a tooth in dodge ball, and lying under my covers with a flashlight.”

“My dad is a really cool guy, but he showed me 'The Shining,' and I was like, 'Hey, dad. I'm thirsty. Let's go get a Coke.' So we went to the vending machine, and he hid... and I turned back, and I was like, 'Dad? Dad?' And the elevator scene came to my mind.”

“L.A. is cool. If I could have the rest of my family out there, I think it would make it that much better for me. As far as work and the weather, you can't really beat it. I just wish they had the New York social life out there. That would make it perfect.”
