I think that with the success of, like, VH1's 'Behind The Music' and stuff like that, the fact that it's so successful, it's clear that people are interested in rock lives.

I think that's one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool.

Rock music is niche.

Rock is all about writing your own script; it's all about pioneering.

There are times when what's happening in rock is the best music in the world, and there are times when there is nothing worthwhile at all.

I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists - you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they're 70.

There are plenty of people in the world who have tried to be rock stars and have not gotten there.

Rock is young music, it is youth oriented. It just speaks for a generation.
