I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.

Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.

I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.

The poet never asks for admiration; he wants to be believed.

I try to make choices for my own life. And I try to make those choices count.

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.

Art is love creating the new world and justice is love rolling up its sleeves to heal the old one.

Zoey: Wait! Don't go yet. I have so many questions. Nyx: Life will reveal to you the choices you must make to answer them.

Come at me scrublord I'm ripped!

I always had a fantasy of meeting a girl who was as serious as I was.

Sometimes you do know where the ideas are coming from and sometimes you don't. You might get a song coming through that you just don't know about.
