Woodstock was about the closest thing to anarchy I've ever seen in my whole life, and I didn't like it.

The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.

The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.

It's okay to grow up, it's just slowing down that's the scary part. Running out of time. It's okay to grow up, but it doesn't mean you have to become like your parents.

I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward.

Punk will never be dead to me. It's my life. I can never just drop this lifestyle. It embodies me.

Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.
