A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat.
Paul Westerberg
Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way.

Although, my experience when I've been depressed, not only am I too depressed to sit down and write a song, I'm too depressed to pick up my feet. So if you can at least write about it, you're halfway away from it.

Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.
Paul Westerberg
I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever, and I've just grown older. I mean, I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things.
Paul Westerberg
I don't think there's anything that will make me stop doing it. There may be a time when it's not available to anyone. You may have to come listen at my basement window... but I can't stop.
Paul Westerberg
I forever felt that I've fallen right between the crack of way too young for the first generation of classic rock 'n' roll and too old to be brand-new. It's hard.
Paul Westerberg
I have my own language and it's high time I put a little of it out there.

I read The Bell Jar, and then I read her memoir and her diaries, and a third book, an outside opinion. Just the way she made the pillows so neat on the oven door. It just seems to be the opposite of, if you're going to take your life, in a horrible rage it happens.
Paul Westerberg
I sat through Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones like three times at the Skyway when it came out.
Paul Westerberg
I think it should be evident by now, but I'm as lost as anyone.
Paul Westerberg
I think of the Replacements only when they're brought up to me. For two years, I'm at home, they don't really cross my mind. I still hear them on the radio. I'm not ashamed of anything we did.
Paul Westerberg
I'm beyond caring what anyone expects of me anymore.
Paul Westerberg
I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies.
Paul Westerberg
I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll.
Paul Westerberg
I've had more people in my life take their lives than... I think it's out of proportion with most people. I think a lot of them gravitate towards me because of the music.
Paul Westerberg
It's fun, but the fun is where it always was. I mean, it's still fun to strap on my Les Paul in the basement and turn up the Marshall amp. I'm still 15. I still enjoy that as much as I ever did.
Paul Westerberg
It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much.
Paul Westerberg
It's my first record since my son is old enough to understand and I can't even show it to him. Yes, it's affected me, probably in the opposite of how anyone would have thought.
Paul Westerberg
Oddly, when I started to make the record, I wasn't aware I was making a record. I just was sort of disgusted with the whole thing and sequestered myself in the basement and started playing the piano just for something to do.
