"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..."
"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."
"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." <
"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."
"I'm trying to figure out some way to express my sexual preferences that will shock the whole rock world. I'm waiting to find out if
it has anything to do with animals."
"I don't regret drugs at all... the hell I went through made it possible for me to enjoy life the way I enjoy it now."
Yeah, I tried it out during those high school years and... you know I'm having deja-vu right now, but what I remember of it is uh,
going and having a great expectation of having sex and it never happening, because I didn't have the muscles or the Ninja bike you
know. So I couldn't get the girl with the floss bikini.
"There are some great rock stars that are anti-rock stars, you know. At least... c'mon, if you're not even that good, at least be
entertaining, you know. The guy from Oasis (Liam Gallagher), sure he really can't perform worth a sh*t. That's probably really why
he stands still, because he doesn't know how to move, you know. Like one foot in front of the other doesn't compute. He's hardly any
Mick Jagger, but at least he goes out on a limb and does something really punk like spits on the stage during live TV. That's why it
kind of pisses me off when this guy Liam brags about how many lines of cocaine he snorted. It's like, c'mon man, go get a real habit."
"What made STP such a beautiful thing is that we are four distinctly different people, each with his own individual little problems.
You got your sex addicts, a couple of drug addicts and a guy who's an obsessive compulsive recluse--like a brilliant Brian Wilson
type. So you have this combustible combination. At any moment, the whole thing might explode. It makes life difficult for crews who
are working for us on tour, 'cause they don't know if they're gonna be on a bus or plane going home the next day and the whole tour
called off. But what it does do is make really provocative and energetic rock'n'roll."
"For a while there, I felt uncomfortable being myself. I would go through brief moments of being myself, like wearing a pink
ostrich feather jacket, green pants and a patterned, satin shirt in the video for 'Interstate Love Song.' But then I would go through
a period of insecurity because of the whole grunge, anti-fashion, anti-star thing. I would intentionally tone down what I wore.
And I didn't feel happy about it."
"I hate when people deny their influences. Like goddamned Oasis. They're arrogant enough to say they're better than the Beatles.
Yet they claim they're not influenced by the Beatles. I find that appalling."
"If I'm aspiring to have any career, it's to have one like David Bowie. When I'm in my 50s, I'd love to look half as good as he does,
still have a 29-inch waist, a wife that looks as wonderful as Iman and be able to drive around in a Rolls-Royce and still be
considered somewhat punk rock."
