In rock n' roll music, you almost have to apologize for being around more than four or five years. I don't know why.

I sing 'All Apologies' with my own lyrics. People want to sing along, but then, oops, they realize it's a different story.

I think it's always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That's how 'Apologize' was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I've always really liked that song.

I don't think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

As a professional broadcaster, I can tell you that over the course of my career, there is an adage: don't ever apologize.

There aren't many artists who can feel sorry for me.

I have a natural instinct to feel guilty and that I've let people down. I've apologized in more songs than 'Back to the Shack.' Going back to our second record, the closing lines are 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' It's definitely part of my personality.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.
