Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.

Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you; it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.

Every experience that you have is important.

If I couldn’t play, I wouldn’t be alive.

Things don't happen to you, they happen for you.

To kill the misconception, I don’t think the songs we wrote before ‘Danger Days’ are bad songs by any means. In fact, I kinda think some of them are among my favorites we have ever written. A lot of them are kinda f—ing rad… they just so happened to have been created in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and we as their parents were not ready to raise them just yet… and so they sat and waited.

My biggest addictions have been chocolate cake, mashed potatoes, and butter sandwiches.
