I never stopped drinking, I just don't drink that much anymore. You know, sometimes on the weekends, it's not like a daily thing.

I dropped out of college, started playing music. I was going to do what I was going to do and it is what it is.

I'm so scared of flying.

I still dream about my parents and have done every night for 10 years, and I wake up either crying or having to remember that they're gone.

I had a few friends who we hung out with and that was it. We'd ride together, get in fights, go dancing, just causing trouble basically.

I don't get DRUNK before I play but I might get drunk after.

I was a total punk. But I was still an outcast, even with the punks and stuff.

I'm not raging drunk when I play. I just like to relax. Sometimes I stop and I tell people "I'm sorry, I'm really nervous".

My mum always told me, 'Have something to fall back on' and I never really listened.

I'm older, so it gets harder.

I'm just working class. I can pay the bills most of the time, usually from royalties.

More and more I had come to see the Capped as lacking what seemed to me the essence of humanity, the vital spark of defiance against the rulers of the world.

Judge tenderly, if you must. There is usually a side you have not heard, a story you know nothing about, and a battle waged that you are not having to fight.” ― Traci Lea LaRussa

Belief is tricky because left to its own devices, it can court a kind of surety, an unquestioning allegiance that fears doubt and destroys difference.

I feel very lucky to have been able to travel and see different parts of the world.

My dad had been an actor... not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?

President Obama has two years left as president. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets to appoint two new Kardashian husbands.

I've been invited to speak at about 20 colleges. There's always this moment when I'm having dinner with the college president: 'Ernie, where'd you go to school?'

Life is like an overlong drama through which we sit being nagged by the vague memories of having read the reviews.

I love entertaining people and making them laugh. It's my favorite thing to do.

Tech is all about building human connections.
