People have had the idea to do a '90s alternative tour for a long time. I didn't come up with that; I was the first guy to basically say it was time.

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.
I've always kind of been a little skeptical about bands that won't play their hits. That's really arrogant to me as a music fan. I do want to hear obscure songs, but like most people, I want to hear the hits, so we always play them.
I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories.
You don't have control of the car, but you can drive it. Life takes you where it wants you to go and where you need to go.
'Santa Monica' was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But it's not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.
For the most part, I don't like people who soapbox.
I'd actually like to make a country album one day. One of my idols is Neil Young, because he's kept himself from being bored.
I lived in Portland for almost 20 years, and that's where my eldest daughter went to college. I missed the sunshine. I grew up in L.A.
Being a child that grew up with a single mom back in the '70s, Father's Day to me was always a very uncomfortable time. At school, we would make Father's Day cards for our dads, and I usually mailed one to my dad, and he hardly ever responded.
