We really try to make sure that the band writes the songs, not just one person.

Being a new band, I just can't think of a better way to get your name out to all of the Hard-Rock crowd than playing with twenty of the biggest Hard-Rock bands in the world.

A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.

Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we're a heavy rock band. We're definitely not a metal band, but we're a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.

You have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.

We knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn't gotten into melody and things like that.

Being on Ozzfest has been a great way for us to break out and show metal fans that we have a heavy side.

Everything is completely democratic in this band so far and that is the way that we would like to keep it.

Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.

You don't want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.

Whether you like another bands music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.

In the universe, nothing is either beautiful or ugly, but our perception and thinking makes it so.

Why do we teach our children to hate others when there are so many options to love? Why do we teach hate when kindness, compassion, tolerance, and harmony add such beauty to life?

A lawsuit with no legal precedent, seeking no damages, from no jury, in the name of stopping something that isn't happening? Only in New York.

We have two kinds of oppression. Oppression that is universal - everyone in Iran is subject to it. But everyone has also their own, unique way of experiencing this oppression.

I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'

I promise you, anybody given the choice of that kind of money or having to make a phone call to tell your dad that something like that has happened, it’s not worth it.

I love Alfa Romeos and that [Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio] was tremendous.

For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.

Truly effective and inspiring leaders aren’t actually driven to lead people; they are driven to serve them.

Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
