I pulled the burden from off my back and tossed it into the wind. And stretched my arms toward the sky and let my life begin.

It's been really fun to see with each album when I change to see the fans of the show emulate my style and with the first record a lot of the kids in the crowd were wearing neck ties like I was and now you'll see a lot of girls with pink hair. It's cool, it's actually really neat.

Punk is like not about the style, its about the music!

In America, I get a lot of younger kids, but there's teens and adults too, ... In Europe, for some reason, I see a lot more males in the audience. In Japan, I don't even notice any kids, partially because they're a lot more strict about fan behavior over there.

I know my fans look up to me and that's why I make my songs so personal; it's all about things I've experienced and things I like or hate. I write for myself and hope that my fans like what I have to say.

Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.

I'm famous, so I can't, like, really walk around in malls and stuff like that. I don't really have as much privacy.
