Love is blind, definitely. You never know someone truly or properly, that's what I've discovered.

I might take what I do very seriously, but at least I'm doing something, rather than sitting on my arse and being no-one.

I've sacrificed lots of aspects of my personal life to do what I do.

People can get blinded by a sense of being comfortable or feeling secure, but that's quite a cynical point of view.

Lyrically I address loads of things that I've never talked about before, about me or about other people.

I got to a crossroads in my life where basically I was asked to choose between staying at home and being with them, or being in a band and doing what I want to do.

I think every touring musician sacrifices aspects of their life to do it.

Prophecy is True and Sacred and should never be mishandled by people who have no business speaking about Sacred Things in GOD'S Name.

Let the living give thanks to our honored dead who have paid the ultimate sacrifice that the Constitution of the United States remains our guiding light.

The hardest thing is never what you think it's going to be.

I think you have to work very hard and dedicate yourself and have the respect of your teammates before you're about to go out and just try to take a game over by yourself.

The amazing thing about love is that it is the best way to get to know ourselves.
