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

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

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

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

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

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