Always have the highest bar for yourself. Wake up everyday and no matter how crappy you feel, want to change something for the better. Do something that makes someone happy. Create something that inspires someone. Be someone's light when they are hopeless.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's gathering people together to do something fun.

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.

The word ‘grunge’ became a household term, and fashion runways were filled with flannel shirts and long underwear. Oh, how we laughed… Every now and then when I’m feeling a little nostalgic, I put on my ‘grunge tuxedo’ - flannel shirt, long shorts with long underwear underneath them, and a pair of Doc Martens - and dance around the house to Tad records.

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
