I Google myself pretty often. I usually find something about All Time Low or my break-up with Holly [Madison].
Jack BarakatThank you for all the birthday wishes, it's brought a tear to my eye, and a boner to my pants.
Jack BarakatLife is like Candyland, there are many paths to take, sometimes you run into Lord Licorice but the end will always be Candy Castle.
Jack BarakatI go into the crowd almost everyday and I really really really despise it when people try to steal my shoes. That is a thing where they're proabably like 'oh, you can just go out and buy a new pair'. Like yeah, but those are my shoes. How would you feel if I tried to steal your shoes?
Jack BarakatThe recording process [ for 'Dirty Work'] took longer than anticipated, because we kept going on tour in between the recording process to make sure that we were still pleasing all the fans across the world.
Jack BarakatI've never been to New Zealand, but I can imagine it's beautiful. I don't know much about New Zealand... but I do know that I did watch 'Lord Of The Rings' so it looks really pretty.
Jack BarakatSometimes you gotta look yourself in the mirror and say, 'You are the prettiest princess in all the land.' I do it once a week.
Jack BarakatI don't get stage fright. I do get nervous before I play in front of big audiences [though].
Jack BarakatI've always had the dream of going to New Zealand and meeting a lovely New Zealander in a bar.
Jack BarakatGoing back to Baltimore is awesome because all my friends still live there and there's never a dull moment when you're hanging out with your high-school friends.
Jack BarakatI am the kind of dude that would go to your seventh grade class and sit at the back of the classroom and stare at all your butts.
Jack BarakatI consider us to be one of the first Internet-based bands, especially because we basically started our entire band via the Internet. Before MySpace Music even existed, we had a band MySpace page. We were one of the first fifty bands on PureVolume(.com), and we really built everything from the Internet. That's how we started talking to record labels, that's how we booked our first tours. Without the Internet social networking, like Twitter, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. It is a huge part of the band.
Jack BarakatI think the album 'Nothing Personal' is a lot more grittier and a lot more honest from a lyrical standpoint. Also, musically it's the most intricate and most thought-out record that we've ever recorded.
Jack BarakatI have so much freedom to put whatever I want on a t-shirt, and it's cool because I get a lot of fan feedback so I like to see what kids like to wear and I like to use some of their ideas to make t-shirts.
Jack BarakatI don't love playing new songs in a festival environment. Because when it comes to a festival a lot of people probably won't know your band really well at all so playing more familiar songs is a little more conducive in having a better show.
