My mom and I were super close when I was a kid, her and I sort of ran off from her ex-husband. It wasn't such a good time for us and I remember listening to The Distillers with her. One time I actually asked her, 'Mom, can I shave my head into a mohawk?'

The most incredible thing about playing the songs live for people - looking out to the crowd and seeing the different reactions and the different heart-strings and the things that people are relating to that mean something to them, that's crazy.

Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see.

This microphone is the key to the universe. When you have this in your hands, you are the most powerful person in the whole world, let's get!.

You can't plan to reach another person on a deep level, it just happens. So those are the moments that I think I really live for.

Every time I listen to Eminem, I fall in love with music all over again.

Don't let ignorance blind you. Open your eyes, heart and your mind. And if you're feeling alone, know that the world can be a lonely place, but it would be lonelier without you in it.
