I've always found it pretty difficult to write a happy song.

I ran away for a couple years just to prove I've hever been free.

I don't think we'll really know what's going on until we enter the next dimension and all that.

I want to surround myself with the people I care about and that has a lot to do with what love is. It's surrounding yourself with the people you do love and trust, and that kind of thing.

When I cruise around, I can't help but study people's faces and emotions and wonder why they're feeling the way they are.

I like to write pop songs and the stuff I write is fairly poppy, so I thought maybe my lot in life was to write pop songs for people. It never felt right writing songs for other people to sing, though.

I was in a hardcore band that had no melody, no chance of finding any success, and I was just trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. And that came out and changed my life forever - on an artistic level, and a lyrical level, for sure.
