Any way that you can get the end result is valid, whatever it takes.

I don't care what people think of me or for what reason they think of me. I don't feel like I don't know who I am to the degree that I have to change my hair to create a new me.

I don't really go to clubs so I don't know what sounds are made there.

Everybody is influenced by someone.

Maybe sincerity is the new punk. But to me, I think I have to connect with something emotionally, on some level, or I don't care about it. And if I don't care about it, then I don't think anyone listening to it will, either.

I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.

I think it's important for fans to know that but if I'm doing something that inspires me musically then I think it will inspire someone else too.
