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.

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

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.

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

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.
