Father
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being a child that grew up with a single mom back in the '70s, Father's Day to me was always a very uncomfortable time. At school, we would make Father's Day cards for our dads, and I usually mailed one to my dad, and he hardly ever responded.

Boy
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of the things about being a boy, especially growing up without a father, is you really don't have that role model to teach you how to do things.

Respect
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being a parent is not just about how you treat your child; it's also about how you treat the other parent. If you treat that person with respect, that's fine, that's the way to go. But if you don't, you're not being the parent you could be.

Angry
|
Nov 07, 2020

When some people get angry, they turn into victims, but when I get angry, I turn to action.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a 50-year-old guy making music for over 20 years. I've been writing songs since I was 20, so it's really been 30 years, and it's always been personal, but I've always told stories.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being a musician, especially at the major label where you work for so long, it becomes a cycle. Write a record, make a record, tour. It's just this cycle, and I don't think there's any life built into it with time to assimilate what's going on in front of you and what's going on in your head.

Daughter
|
Nov 07, 2020

I lived in Portland for almost 20 years, and that's where my eldest daughter went to college. I missed the sunshine. I grew up in L.A.

Fall
|
Nov 07, 2020

I still fall back a lot on my Les Paul, and there is just no getting away from a Les Paul and a hot pickup.

Hell
|
Nov 07, 2020

My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.

Politician
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not a politician. I'm not running for office. I can say what I think.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

Forgiveness is hard for me, man. It is for most American-Western males. It's a sign of weakness.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like people who tell stories. I like storytellers. A lot of my songs are misconceived as being auto-biographical when they're not because I write in the first person.

Even
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm constantly working, even when I'm at home.

Better
|
Nov 07, 2020

Creative
|
Nov 07, 2020

Play
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a songwriter, I do kind of look at 'Santa Monica' as a thing outside of itself, because it isn't just my song. This is a song a lot of people tell me is a part of their high school or college years. That means a lot to me.

Call
|
Nov 07, 2020

Call me, and I'd do anything for the Democratic Party.

Got

The thing I love about Myspace is it's a safe place where I can talk to fans every day.

Nov 07, 2020

I like Nirvana, but I couldn't say that I was influenced by them. I like to tell a story.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

I try to talk about things I know about. But my characters are more of a combination of people or how I imagine people would feel.

Dark Side
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have my dark side like anybody, you know, depression, anxiety... and I write about gritty, real-life stuff.

Humor
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.

Past
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

Maybe I'll work for a label someday, write some fiction, nonfiction. Someday I'd like to go back to school and get my teaching degree. I want to be a grandpa. I want to have more kids.

Band
|
Nov 07, 2020

Any artist manages his own business along with his manager. Every band should.

Bored
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fatherhood

Nov 07, 2020

Fatherhood, both times for me, was a choice.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wish I could come home to a life that looks like a TV show. I wish I could see my television family waiting for me, where no one fights and no one screams, no one lies and no one leaves.

Nothing
|
Nov 07, 2020

People's perceptions of me have nothing to do with reality. I'm basically just your average dork.

Nov 07, 2020

I think Everclear is a weird combination of a singer-songwriter and a hard-rock band. That's why some people really dig the band, and some don't.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

A lot of people do not like singer-songwriters, and a lot of people who like them do not like hard rock. It's either-or.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Cool
|
Nov 07, 2020

Drive
|
Nov 07, 2020

My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives.

Now
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a 'Power of Now' kind of guy, always have been. I don't really hang on to a lot of pictures. I have pictures of my daughters.

Doing

Nov 07, 2020

About one or two songs per record is me doing a little bloodletting.

Most
|
Nov 07, 2020

For the most part, I don't like people who soapbox.

Long Time
|
Nov 07, 2020

People have had the idea to do a '90s alternative tour for a long time. I didn't come up with that; I was the first guy to basically say it was time.

Nov 07, 2020

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always kind of been a little skeptical about bands that won't play their hits. That's really arrogant to me as a music fan. I do want to hear obscure songs, but like most people, I want to hear the hits, so we always play them.

Loved
|
Nov 07, 2020

I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories.

Drive
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Santa Monica' was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But it's not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020
