At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.

Music is the career I'm lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.

A lot of power-pop comes out of LA, a lot of speed metal comes out of New York.

Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.

There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.

I don't do much else but stay in my hotel room.

I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.

Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.

Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.

I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.

I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.

When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.

My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.

I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?

Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.

Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be.

I sing like a lark.

Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.

People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you.

I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.

We try to be real nice and friendly to people, but sometimes they take advantage of that.

We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.

At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.

There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.

Kurt and I weren't the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I'll still be paying for my prior use.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted. But no matter where I go, I still come home.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else I guess.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

I was stuck at home in bed with me and got more and more involved with the Internet. I used it to keep in contact with friends and to make sure I was up to date with everything that was going on in the world.

I'm going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they'll be ripe.

Removing substantial fuel loads from our forests helps prevent catastrophic fire and better protects species, watersheds and neighboring communities that call them home.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.
