Sometimes I write about things that never happened to me that wind up happening to me. When you put things out in the universe, sometimes they wind up coming true.

It's more difficult to write a song about having your heart ripped out of your chest while you're in love. Because it lacks honesty. And the honesty comes through in the music, it really does.

I put my own d*ck in my mouth. I was 14 and much more flexible at the time. It was soft and required a lot of pulling. I really wanted that case of beer.

You never know what your parents are going to say when you tell them you're getting married - especially when it's with someone they haven't met yet!

When you are writing a song for something else, if you are doing something for money, I always think that's bad luck.

After this many years of being a lead singer in a touring rock band, I've had my fair share of fun. But those days are long behind me.

Too many times I've heard records from bands who were obviously, like, 'Well, we're at least gonna do half as well as we did on our last record. At least we can count on that.' You really have to keep that initial hunger that made some of your first best songs your first best songs. You have to keep that fire in the belly.
