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.

Never understood a lot about the world... music is one of the only things that makes any sense.

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

I don't know why people have to categorize things in music under music. It's music and it's music and it's music. When you start putting genres on things, I think it's completely ridiculous, and I hate that.

People can say what they want but it doesn't stop me from doing what I'm crazy about doing.

You have many options in life, never make giving up one of them

Wake up and create a purpose for yourself. Don't ask the meaning of life, ask yourself the meaning of each given day.
