Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.

You have to learn how to die if you wanna be alive.

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

Once you're an addict, you're always an addict, so just because I found something good to do doesn't mean I'm not going to hurt myself doing it.

To be honest, I’m more concerned with living my life than writing about my life. I feel like that’s really the main thing I know now that I didn’t know when I was younger — and that is that you have to have a life to write about one. If you’re more worried about having experiences so you can write about them, I think you’re kinda being ridiculous, and I think a lot of young people look at it like that.

I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.

I don't really feel like you're making a record unless you pay attention to it.
