This is a place where stars can feel like freaks, and freaks can feel like stars. I want to put stripper poles in here for public use so if any girl wants to get up and dance, she can.

So as long as I can do the music or create, I'll feel fine.

When a new person comes in, you can't help but evolve. Steve comes from a singer/songwriter background, whereas Perkins and I come from more of a jamming and experimental background, and I think what we came up with is a great combination of songs and musicianship.

Van Halen would be awesome -- I'd just love to sit and hang with Ed [Van Halen].

We hope that even a thief has a heart.

I think if there's a vacancy like that, hopefully it will make bands get more creative, and turn up, as they did in the old days, in empty warehouses and just impromptu showcases that are word-of-mouth and flyer-oriented. Hopefully it can be a good thing. But I'll miss that place.
