If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.

People always complain about something. If you face yourself and stand up strong, you're OK. You can't go wrong.

We like to set off bombs.

Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.

Every time I'd go out drinking I was looking for something new. But it was the same every time. I'd wake up in some bed with some person, I had a hangover and a show to do. And the truth is, it was the same every time. But now life is... pretty interesting without the alcohol.

It's a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it.

A lot of modern amps and preamps sound great when you're jamming by yourself, but don't hold up in a band situation. The sound isn't dense enough, and the lows and highs tend to get soaked up by the bass and cymbals.
