My first attempt at real music was when I was 13. My first signed band was when I was 21; that failed. I got another deal at 26; that failed, and then I was broke.

I've had the same friends I've always had. I mean, I've lost a few over the years.

Look, one of the things that I know for sure is that none of us truly knows. That's it. It'll hit you later.

My drummer is my favorite drummer in the world, and he also happens to be the funniest person you'll meet.

I don't take myself that seriously when it comes down to that stuff. My drummer is my favorite drummer in the world, and he also happens to be the funniest person you'll meet. He's a constant reminder every time stuff gets a little too heavy, maybe I have a bad show or I'll hit a horrible note on some recorded TV thing or something, and he's like, "Man don't take yourself so seriously - this is a joke, we're playing music." And that's a great thing to keep me grounded at all times. We're not saving lives, but the power does help us.

I really love music and I want to make it better the best I can.
