'Spoonman' wasn't written for any album. It was just written for fun.
'Superunknown' was one of the most dramatic shifts in what we were doing musically. I don't think I realized it at the time.
A lot of what attracted people to Nirvana was that they were like the people you went to high school with.
An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
At the end of the day it's the fans who make you who you are.
Bands work in a way where everyone, at some point, has to have a similar idea of how you do things.
Definitely, when you get into something where bands are playing for 30,000 people, it's not like the post-punk, U.S. Independent scene.
Fans should be encouraged that I want to try different things.
For years, I wasn't feeling good about myself. My head wasn't clear. I was doing nothing productive.
I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.
I always looked at rock & roll as the voice of regular people, of an economic group not in charge.
I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.
I don't listen to Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson records.
I don't really go mountain biking per se, like a proper sport.
No matter what, I can't sound like John Lennon. But I can do Tom Jones.
My history of singing has always probably been closer to a David Bowie approach than, for example, an AC/DC approach.
My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.
Music is supposed to be inspired.
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
It's good for me to be involved in different things.
It just doesn't get any more stripped down than going out totally alone and doing songs.
In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.
In spite of my lack of education, I didn't lack direction.
I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.
I've always had a really difficult time with loss.
I'm not usually in a talkative mode.
I'm a huge fan of film and always have been.
I used to hate playing Seattle shows.
I think there needs to be a global focus on people taking care of people.
