Our music was meant to be motivational, we thought it would be interesting - when you have a breakup, or when you have hard times with your honey, you know, hard times in life, you can feel sad about it, or you can sometimes, take a dark time and make it, like, One lumen nicer, you know what I mean?

It's weird to me to even say, "I wrote this song." I never feel like I wrote it; I feel like I heard it.

There were no rules. There's no guide to follow. I would just trust my instincts for some unknown reason. Something inside me would say, "This guitar is not loud enough," and I wouldn't know why. You never know how to reach that point until you've reached it.

Usually if someone starts making universal claims, I tune right on out.

Pop music is the one genre that isn't a genre. If the kids like it, then that's what defines it as pop music. Pop music is just something new.

I'm a rock-and-roll drummer, so my job is to create chaos.

When I'm playing best, I'm just thinking about the music, just interacting with what my bandmates are playing.
