I can turn on the radio right now and be inspired.

We went through ten years of the Limp Bizkit thing, and I didn't know what to do.

Warren Beatty took an interest in my career at one point.

I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.

It's a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions like Napster are a lot more fun than cash, which by the way we don't have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game.

But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.

Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.

I might lie a lot but never in my lyrics.

I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction.

I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.

The only thing that's really riled me up in the last ten years has been the White Stripes. That's the one band that's gotten me competitive, and that's good.

I cannot exist as a solo artist.

Being offended is part of being in the real world.

I like there to be some testosterone in rock, and it's like I'm the one in the dress who has to provide it.

I'm offended every time I see George Bush on TV!

Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb!

Movie stars are supposed to be healthy. They're kept happy and nutritionally together.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.

The Kurt thing has burdened me so much.

I'll always prefer to play with women and hang out with women, and I'll always be a feminist.

I used to do drugs, but don't tell anyone or it will ruin my image.

I did not want to make the widow record. I still haven't made the widow record.

I can turn on the radio right now and be inspired.

But, you know, all good rock is easy.

But let me tell you something. Gloria Steinem never helped me out; Larry Flynt did.

Being a rock star is like being a cult leader - you really have to be in your own religion.

I'm not going to hurt anybody other than that dick who keeps writing songs about me.

I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.

Much of my high-jinx have been drug-related. When you're under 30, whatever, but once you're past 40 it's just ugly.
