I'm still learning, but I can see there are decisions in life that are going to be very challenging and it's always better to get through them, always.

I'm three years into my recovery from heroin and all this stuff and I want to be able to help people. But they have to do it on their own.

I got really lucky when I found somebody that I want to be friends with forever.

I can't imagine anybody in my life I've been more vulnerable with than my wife.

I hated old people as a young kid who thought he knew anything about punk rock. I just thought old people sucked and I thought their opinions sucked.

They say what doesn't kill the soul will make you stronger, but you can't be a stone-hearted man.

I would prefer that, rather than sitting down and giving someone advice, I would way rather write a song about what I was going through. I think that's a pure, organic process of learning from someone else's mistakes.
