My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I'm always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.

I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
-
I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.
-
Looking back on the production of 'Nevermind,' I'm embarrassed by it now.' It's closer to a Motley Crue record than it is a punk rock record.
-
I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.

They (Extreme) surround themselves with these professional, dickhead, commercial rock and roll guys...when they show up at an airport, their manager runs ahead of them and yells at the people greeting them, 'No video! We want a path straight to the van! We don't want any pictures taken!' Y'know, I'm like, 'So what?'

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.
-
If it's illegal to rock and roll, then throw my ass in jail.
-
Absolutely. Slade! A band that would never bend over.
-
I have very bad posture.
-
I will get stoned and worship Satan.
-
I just can’t believe anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can’t believe it.
-
If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!
-
I've never considered musical equipment very sacred.
-
I just hope I don't become so blissful I become boring. I think I'll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.
-
I can’t comment on Soundgarden because I know them personally and I really like them a lot, but I have strong feelings towards Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and bands like that. They’re obviously just corporate puppets that are just trying to jump on the alternative bandwagon - and we are being lumped into that category.
-
Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend.
-
I am not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes.
-
Yeah, I was run out of town. They chased me up to the castle of Aberdeen with torches. Just like the Frankenstein monster. And I got away in a hot air balloon. And I came here to Seattle.
-
Married, Married, Married! Buried! Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
-
I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.
-
I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman; I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.
-
There's nothing more comfortable than a cosy flower pattern.

Expression and the right to express is vital, anyone can be artistic.
