The point about it is that if you're pointed toward some kind of goodness, some kind of light, something positive, you find your way through these trials and tribulations, ... I've basically dedicated my whole lyrical life to people's ability to cope with the struggle because I do believe there is a struggle. And I don't mean it in a negative sense. I just mean it in a realistic sense. Nothing is greater than staying right on the positive, but sometimes life can have a way of just pulling you back and dragging you a bit.
It felt, at first, slightly adulterous, and now it feels completely right.
I think that in order to survive, there's this concept of having bulletproof skin,
The premise of that song is finding ways to deal with whatever's thrown at you. Wherever you are, whatever you do there are always tremendous pressures thrown at you, and one of the only ways to survive is to have this ability to roll with what life throws.
The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s.
It's such a legacy, it's insane... even outside of America, CBGB is synonymous with New York, with music.
Cool to disappear, but I missed you most days.
Everything is fine now, ... We resolved it and the war of attrition is over. We're concentrating on all working hard together to make this record well known. We're down with them. It's just really good to be having a record out.
As much as we all love playing live, it's not normal to be on the road all the time, to have no home.
It is weird, sort of the Hollywood turnaround,
There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going ''Oh God, I really love your hair.''
I've been going through some pretty crazy stuff. And I've had to deal with a few people that I thought were pretty close to me turning around and just trying to destroy me, I think.
I wanted to do something a little bit harder than Bush, ... It's got a paranoid edge to it. It's a pretty difficult transition to go from my band Bush to this new terrain, this whole other world.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
