When you say something is very different to a core base that expects heavy music from you or very aggressive music, everybody tends to go, 'Oh, they're gonna get mellow, they're gonna get soft.'

I was a kid who got picked on in school, and now the guys beating up those kids were wearing red caps and using my music to fuel that aggression. But if they listen to the lyrics, the aggression is targeted at them.

The future is easy because it doesn’t exist; but the past is painful because it lives forever.

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

I love finding EPs for bands that you just discover.

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.
