I'm a Pisces, and Pisces have this weird inability to be completely spontaneous. We're too conscious of our actions. I've always been way too sensible for my own good.

I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn't set foot in another church until I was 28.

I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.

Don't judge yourself by someone else's standards. You will always lose

I think I kind of approached music with this sort of, like, weird thing where I kinda set myself up where I could kinda be myself but not really. I kinda had a backdoor out. So if you criticized me, I kinda had my defenses working. And the problem is that some people seize on that as inauthenticity, which is understandable. So that's painful because it's not that you're being inauthentic...there's a difference between being a poseur and being someone who's so emotionally challenged they're kind of just doing their best to show you what they've got.

In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.

Usually the intention of the artistic effect is too sophisticated for most people to understand, sort of like a joke that they don't get so they don't think it's funny.
