I grew up in a family full of yellers. People screaming and chaos goin' on, I feel right at home in it. I've really worked on myself with anger management. I try to save that for the stage.

My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.

I just wanna be a rock star!

I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.

Forgiveness is hard for me, man. It is for most American-Western males. It's a sign of weakness.
