Last Time This Was Updated: March 25, 2001 "I guess it's a paradox, wanting to live this, like, fabulous life and also wanting to have a normal life. Can you have both? It's possible, but whether you're an auto mechanic or a rock star, the world's still going to be a frustrating place." {~ Details Magazine ~} < "Rock stars look good skinny, and they don't look good fat. To me, rock 'n' roll is not leopard prints. It could be a white linen suit, a black shirt with a white tie- the way the Beattles dressed in 'Let It Be.' You know- get out of your Rolls-Royce wearing a big fur coat, a suit, a tie, nice loafers..." {~ Details ~} "I was a pretty apathetic and lonely kid. I guess I never felt that I was liked very much. When I was younger, the only friend I really had was an imaginary friend named Poogus. I used to blame things on him. When I got a little older I didn't feel like I was what I should be. I wasn't popular, really, and I tried for a while to be. I really was mad at myself, and angry -- I couldn't figure out why I wasn't and why I didn't identify with other people. I always had, like, only one real friend at a time." {~ Rolling Stone Magazine ~} "Sex. See, sex is the most important thing in the whole world. And not just for humans, either -- for animals too. I mean people seem to think that humans are the only ones who approach sex for pleasure -- that's what organized religion tries to teach us. But you know what? When I was a kid, my dog use to f*ck my leg all the time. And obviously, he knows he's not gonna get a puppy from doing that. So theres gotta be some kind of sexual pleasure that dogs get from f*cking your leg. Sex is the most important thing in the world. It's the most important thing to me when I get off tour. It's better than going to Disneyland." {~ Rolling Stone ~} "I don't like being thrust into this position of being a role model. With 'Sex Type Thing' I tried to speak out on something that I felt was important, and suddenly half the people were painting me as a poster boy for the neo-feminist movement, and the other half thought I was glorifying rape and violence against women. I then felt this responsibility to do these benefits for various organizations, and it was great that we did that. But I don't want to be defined by a political platform." {~ Melody Maker ~} >> << reviews|stp garage|insights| quotes|meanings|"alive"|interviews|me?|merci| clear
