You can't kill your way to security and you can't lead by scaring people.

Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.

Your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts, may the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart.

I never felt I had enough personal style to pursue being just a guitarist.

I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.

I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly.

I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
