I like to watch people have fun and then trip them while they're doing so.

And when I got sick I felt confident that if it was the last thing I ever recorded before I left this earth, I would be really proud of it.

The whole world, myself included, seem to have one thing in common; we're just a crowd of people who don't really fit in anywhere attempting to convince one another that we do. I guess I'll put my sunglasses on and pretend, like everyone else, that I too belong here.

I consider myself a person like everyone else, and I take my time writing my records because I feel like it captures more of who I am. You have a much greater chance of hitting on themes and points...that could play into someone else's life in a larger way.

I'm Doctor McMahon with a Ph.D. in sweet-ass rock with an emphasis in set list creation.

If I've learned anything over the past 5 years, it's that you do not know where you're going to be tomorrow. You have to make decisions based on that; it's almost pointless. So, you know, whether I learned, I think I'm pretty aware, pretty conscious of that point to live in the moment. It's a hard lesson, but it's like, I'm trying to learn to quiet my mind down, know what I mean?

I think that's the most important thing: when life kind of screws you over a little bit, you've got to learn from that experience.
