I haven't touched meat or anything like that in over six years. You know what's pretty trippy, once I stopped, I didn't get sick from that point on. I'll get a light cold once in a while, but ever since that, I've just been completely on my toes and it helps for surfing too, to stay light on your toes and be healthy.

I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.

I don't know that I can say what exactly love means to me because it would be hard to put that into perspective.

Let's say I'm at a party and I don't like the feeling I'm getting, I'll just leave. Why do I have to be there?

You start treating your body right and your immune system is better.

Trying to put music out there in the world is a pretty exciting, yet terrifying, thing and I've just been through the ringer.

I just find that with music I've always felt a sort of comfort."Paranoid Android" was the saddest song I'd ever heard in my life, but it felt so good - it was like, "Oh, you understand where I'm coming from." I was at a weird age at the time, 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.
