Its disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and Im comfortable with myself.

When I think of nu-metal, I think of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and even Chevelle - those types of bands.

If you have enough strength to help yourself, you have enough strength to help those in need. Never pass up an opportunity.

If I'm not writing songs about things I've actually been through, it ruins the idea of making music to me.

I want to be the band everyone knows that goes hardest. Plays the hardest, parties the hardest, lives the hardest, loves the hardest, does everything the hardest, harder than anybody else.

We'll have a part and it's clearing up, so you think something is going to happen and it totally stops and does something completely different and then the part you thought was going to happen comes out of completely nowhere.

I'm actually at home when I'm not on tour, and I have a lot of downtime.
