I look in the mirror and see a few scars, but I like myself.

Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.

It's only rock and roll, my god! It's not rocket science.

You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you dont have your health, you have nothing.

Loud is a way of life.

Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that'll be me.

Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I have for myself.

We celebrate the past to awaken the future.

Marriage? I don't know what I really think about marriage. I'm a bit confused on that issue.
