Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.

You know I don't care if the world thinks I'm smart or not.

People are very sincere in their praise, and you can't take it lightly.

It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.

Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.

The internet did not exist when I started out, the fact that bands can build a website and get all their information out there is really helpful. If you really love to play, I would say to keep doing it, because it's what you love and what you have to do.

A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.
