It's a little gross to put yourself in every song. I mean, how interesting do people really think you are?

There is trouble in my mind There is dark, there's dark and there is light There is no order, and there is chaos, and there is crime There is no one home tonight, in the empire of my mind

Music is something I really have a need to do - I don't seem to be able to stop

Its a little gross to put yourself in every song. I mean, how interesting do people really think you are?

I do like a song that can look good on a page without even being sung. I edit and edit and edit.

It doesn't always have a shape,Almost never does it have a name,It maybe has a pitchfork, maybe has a tail,But evil is alive and well.

The trouble, dollIs not moving mountains, butDigging the ground that you're on

There's only one thing that's certainAnd that's everybody, everybody's hurting

I always saw songwriting as the top of the heap. No matter what else you were going to do creatively...writing songs was king

Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.

I liked getting the Grammy more than not getting it.

My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.

To us, there was Bob Dylan, and there was dad. As for what he meant to other people, that was never glorified in our house. There were no accolades there, no gold records.

I'm waiting for my kids to grow up and get into the Offspring and look at me like I'm a total candy-ass.

My father said it himself in an interview many years ago: 'Husband and wife failed, but mother and father didn't.' I've got a life that really matters to me, and that's because of the way I was raised. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.

I see myself as a traditionalist ... I like traditional things. I like things of substance and value that have been proven. Conceptually, as the songs started to come together, I followed that lead, which is the language I work in.

But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me. Through this maze of ugliness and greed.

A guilty conscience means at least you have one.

Tolerance can lead to learning something.

a good cohesive set of material if you're working within one mind-frame.
