I would advocate that you show me your smiling face, and how happy you can make your life.

I need to have something to source my energy to and something to remove me from my own weird brain.

Believe none of what you hear...and even less of what you see...this is what we`ll be.

Our shows have always been sort of an all-generations thing, people from 6 to 60. The other night, we played a show and we had a woman who was probably 70 to 75 years old, and she was there alone and she was singing every song. On the other end of the spectrum, there was a 7-year-old on his dad's shoulders and the dad is singing along.

Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

I feel that there is a culture being built that is a celebration of agony. There is also a celebration of being an outcast, to the degree that you are segregating yourself in a negative way from people who may want to be your friend.

Every day, people say crappy things about my band or whatever, but I live a positive existence. I got through everything by virtue of having the same passion that I've had through the years.
