Live your life for anyone but yourself

Pray to your God, open your heart. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.

When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.

I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers.

Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.

I come from a visual background, and I grew up around a lot of hippies and artists. My mom and my brother and I moved around a lot. We basically moved every couple of years, and I went to a lot of different schools. But creativity, for us, was always a way of life. It was never a job. Being an artist was a passion and a way of life.
