Life isn't a tiptoe through the tulips.
Shannon Hoon
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
There's no leader of this band, and there never will be. That's the key. You can't control how the public perceives you-people see rock'n'roll bands as the guitar player and the singer.
I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!
I'll close my eyes really, really tight and make you all go away.
You start wanting to see a different place every day.
I know that sounds selfish, but you have to look at what it's doing to you personally - are you frustrated because of the way people perceive you, or are you happy enough about the things you've realized about yourself that you can tolerate the way people perceive you?
We all enjoy the band and what we're doing, but we know this isn't gonna last forever.
I'm in road-coma at the moment. But it's OK. I think you subliminally become a junkie of being on the road. As much as you think you're burnt out, the minute you get off you go stir crazy and you just wanna go right back.
You use everything. You use tragedy you use everything.
I feel more confident about what we're doing as a band and what we're trying to do as a band and the way we're looking at it as a band.
We've seen a lot of people self-destruct because of a small taste of success.
I made a living out of being a class clown.
I think we really almost burnt ourselves out on one record.
I really enjoy the therapeutic value of writing songs.
I want to do more. I'm never satisfied with what I've done.
I need to start caring about myself if I'm going to be a proper father.
