- After many big ups and downs, Rivers has locked into a massively productive and busy schedule, both in music and band business. Constantly pushing himself to write new material, and record it at the best quality available at the time, he rarely has much time to spare. Has taken over management of Weezer and is doing a fine job, which has loosened and limbered him up in the music department.

- Was a metal head as a teenager. When he was in high school, he took a picture of Carlos Cavazo from Quiet Riot to a local salon and told the woman to make him look like that. After an hour, it was done and his mom was so mortified at his appearance that she left the salon and Rivers had to walk three miles back home.
- Weezer, the name of his rock band, is actually his childhood nickname.
- The name of his 4th album "Maladroit", was inspired by a fans e-mail.
- He grew up with divorced parents and that was his inspiration for the song, "Say it ain't so" on the Weezer album.
- Your brain is always searching for reasons to doubt yourself; I'm pretty experienced with that.
- I love getting older, though. I just feel like I have more control over the universe -- or my small corner of it, at least.
- I had rock-star dreams from 8 or 9 almost nonstop. I thought it was going to be like being a God on earth: having as many women as you want whenever you want them, having super powers, being incredibly wealthy, never doing laundry. Instead I found myself in the dead of winter in Boston with a long beard, no friends and a bum leg. It was pretty disillusioning...
- I've sold two million records, I've toured around the world singing in front of thousands of people. And there's a girl sitting across from me in English 101, and I just look up at her every once in a while and put my head back down. I'm still a pathetic fool. No matter how many records I sell, I'm never going to be in Kiss.
- I consider myself a normal person in extraordinary, abnormal circumstances. I think if anyone were in my position they would end up acting like I do.
