It's been an objective of mine since I started writing songs to include both intellect and energy.

Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it's all in the interest in challenging the authority that came before you. That's consistent with the punk rock ethos that suggests that you should not take what people say at face value.

We delude ourselves into believing that morality comes from somewhere else, whereas in reality we behave as we've been told to behave.

Unfortunately, the average guy on the street believes that studying evolution leads to atheism.

When we look back on this time and we are going to see what the Internet brought us, and social media brought us, I think people are going to say 'how did people know anything in those years, during that particular time in history?' Because there is so much disorganization in the information.

I was in a choir as a kid. It was from those early days that my outlook on harmonies and arrangements were nurtured. I always took that with me, even on the earliest Bad Religion record, which strangely was only about six years after that.

I want some fact-based evidence about where we came from. Things we consider mysterious need not be attributed to a deity.
