Your uniqueness is your strength. Remember that. Don't mold yourself to others or to what others think. You're an individual. You're special.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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