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

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

Never give up. There is always hope, there is always life. You've just gotta open your heart to it. Live in love.

To me, music is emotion and if when you're listening to it and it doesn't make you feel that, then it's not music.

I'm not going to be like a rapper and mention the people I'm talking about in my songs by name.

What I think of when I think of nu-metal: structured, heavy music that has a point. It's angry just like all the other music, but the bigger parts are bigger and the powerful parts are more powerful and the slow parts slower.

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.
