- [on Keith Richards] Keith talks about bringing his kid on tour when he was a pretty deep dope fiend, sleeping with a gun under his pillow. And the function of his son on tour was to wake him up because he was the only person Keith wouldn't point a gun at for shaking him out of his slumbers.
- [on working with 'Soul Coughing'] I was so disappointed with the music. We certainly had the muscle to be a great band, but I think we were just kind of a self-consciously weird band. And part of it was that my bandmates made musical decisions on the basis of spite. It's tragically disappointing, to me, to hear those records now. It just makes my skin crawl.
