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.
-
You my friend,I will defend,and if we change well, I love you anyway.
-
I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.
-
When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself.
-
There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.
-
People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you.
-
What do you mean, I'm a wild front man! I'm jumping all over, I do the dance moves.
-
There's not a word that describes us. We’re not alternative, metal or grunge - we’re not any of that. We’re just what we are.
-
We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
-
There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I'll still be paying for my prior use.
-
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.
-
Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.
-
Playing for someone else's crowd is always difficult for any band.
-
When power ballads come back, we'll get big hair again.
-
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'm going to keep thinking about topping myself every time. I can say very confidently that Alice In Chains have done that on every record. It surprises me. I don't go in there expecting that, but I do go in there hoping for it.

We Die Young is about gang violence. That was something that was happening in Seattle, something that kinda opened our eyes. It just seemed like things were getting out of hand. Incidents where kids were getting shot, and getting their tennis shoes ripped off their dead bodies. It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.
-
Bands don't last. Bands don't last forever - it's a rarity when they do.
-
Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence.
-
We try to be real nice and friendly to people, but sometimes they take advantage of that.
-
Times change and you have to adapt.
-
I'm just thankful to have a tour and work something I can focus on.
-
I think female drummers are great. I think there should more of them.
-
Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.
