I like to see how people interact with each other and I draw from that. I'm inspired by that.

You're gonna know my name by the end of the night.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.
