It's up in the air, ... But in my mind, it's up in the air for every artist. Who knows, really, if they are going to record another record?
bonds
The bonds you make with those records when you're 14, 15 and 16, they'll never be broken, and nothing will ever be as strong as that.
vow
It's been two and a-half years now, actually. The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising.

Nothing sounded as sincere as Nirvana's music. It took a long time for me to accept that any other music could be good in other ways. Including my own.
attention besides gotten listen might music nature people record scream seems
It seems like Weezer has gotten better and better at getting attention for everything besides our music. Part of that is just the nature of our culture now - you really have to scream to get some attention, so people even know you have a record out that they might want to listen to.

It's the most explosive, intense rock phenomenon ever seen. I am in awe every night, ... (Grohl) has such endless energy and intensity night after night screaming his lungs out. I don't see how he does it.

It's great - that's the best part about being famous is that people want to get to know me. People come up to me and introduce themselves, and I make friends, and then I meet their friends. It seems like I have a very happy and comfortable social life, which is something I never had when I was younger.

I meditate an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. Once a year I go away for a long retreat. And overall, I just feel more comfortable in my own skin and less anxious, less sad, less fearful.
whether
It's so important to me that I feel like I'm doing something that's never been done before, whether that's in the show, or I'm writing a song. I can exist in this little box here, but I have to do something new with it.
listening albums youth
I enjoy listening to the albums of my youth as much as ever.
song writing imagination
Most of the songs I write just very directly from my life. I don't have a big imagination. Whenever I tried to write from fantasy, it comes out sounding really fake.
fighting new-music studios
I'm constantly fighting with my manager to reduce the amount of time I have to spend on promotional activities, so I can get back in the studio and work on new music.
