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

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.

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.

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