The collective love for music and poetry and just the brotherhood of sound. And it's still kind of flowing through me and I attribute that to the team.

...for the first time in my life, a voice went off in my head:'You have no power over what happens in your life. Drugs dictate exactly what you're going to do. You've taken your hands off the steering wheel, and you're going wherever the drug world takes you.' That had never changed. The feeling would well up inside of me, and no matter how much I loved my girl or my band or my friends or my family, when that siren song 'Go get high now' started playing in my head, I was off.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

Also, we're all actually different blood types and we have one represented by each guy in the band.

The fact that I was a junkie for a long time is only one slice of my own personal pie, which is made up of a lot of different slices.

Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.

Honestly, I'm really just a teddy bear.
