"Despite the aural onslaught, King (For A Day) is not an assault I think its us being us, more than anything. I think we finally had the resources to be us on this record."
"We just wanna be the happy bums that we are. Thats all."
"Theres a lot of positive stuff to say about him... Why cant I think of any now? (laughs) Oh, heres something positive: Big Jims best trait of character was that he has always been himself... which was his worst trait of character at the same time."
"Its (RV) about a slob sitting around who doesnt do anything. I kind of identify with it."
"Big Jim is over and out, as far as I am concerned."
"Revenge is good. I think revenge is healthy too, and if you can use music in that way, a sort of therapeutic way for yourself, it cant do any harm. So if King (For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime) is angry in any way, its angry in a random, chaotic, healthy way. Like the guy who goes into a building, shoots a bunch of holes in the wall and then leaves. He didnt kill anybody."
"Oh, have you seen Beavis and Butt-Head when they watch one of our videos and Beavis goes: These guys sound just like the Chili Peppers? As if I havent heard that one before!"
"Recently, a girl chained herself to me with hand-cuffs after a gig, just because I refused to talk to her. I politely declined, though. I am a well-bred boy. I dont want to be too specific, but... it got pretty ugly."

"Puffys the only guy whos jealous. "All drummers want to be singers. I think its a myth that the singer needs to be the focus. Bands perpetuate that myth. With somebody like Sebastian Bach it makes sense. Look at him. He could be in an Avon ad."
"I got one entire song from fortune cookies (Land of Sunshine). On another one, I took words from different Frank Sinatra songs and pasted them together. Another one, I was just driving around and there was a piece of paper on the ground, so I stole it."
