I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.

It was a dogma throughout most of the 20th century that quantum science only applied to subatomic matter, and we now know that not to be true. One of the major discoveries was Quantum Holography.

Most new books are forgotten within a year, especially by those who borrow them.

Be true to love where ever you find it, and be true to yourself and everything that you really are.

I don't have a problem talking about Medicare or Medicaid or some other very important issue.

Sometimes, if you wear suits for too long, it changes your ideology.

We fell. We got up. We ran.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.

Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.

What's his offense? Groping for trout in a peculiar river.
