party blow heroin
Doing heroin is like walking around with a terrorist as your friend. It's like taking a terrorist around to parties You never know when it's going to blow up on you.

Things happened so fast. In some ways, it's better to come in second at first because it humbles you and you end up being focused and work harder.
cook discovered eating figured fire front humans imagine learned meat raw sitting thousand
It was 100,000 years before we figured out what to do with fire. Humans learned how to use fire to cook 100, 000 years after they discovered how to make it. Imagine cavemen, sitting in front of a fire, eating raw meat for 100 thousand years.
guitar minutes people played prefer song telling three truly week work
I would prefer it if people thought that I didn't work hard, that I just played the guitar for three minutes a week and was like, 'Check out this song - what do you think?' That would be ideal. I would prefer telling people that I'm just truly talented.

That's nice of you to say. We're sort of staying afloat despite not fitting into . . . the corporate rules of commercial success. Somehow we've arrived somewhere cool despite not knowing where the ship was going to pop out after the storm.

Thanks for passing the torch...I think I burned my hand, though.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the deafening roar.
blowing detached far feeling good great hopefully involving last mind people row seem sizes time whatever whether
The sizes seem right. It's pretty much as big as you get without feeling detached or too far away from the people at the back of the audience. It's as big as you get while still involving the last row - isn't that what you look for in a venue? Hopefully they just have a great time. Hopefully it's just a great show. Whatever that does to different people, whether it's blowing your mind or just making you have a good time that night.
accepts grateful guess half minds motivated united wants
I guess I'm of two minds about (that). One half accepts it, I'm grateful for anything I can get. And the other half, the motivated part of me wants to have the same thing going here in the United States.
care people
I don't care what people think or what they expected. It's what (critics) said, not us.
second
One of the big songwriting things for me has always been: always think what you do sucks. Because the second you stop believing that, you suck. And that's a fact.
