You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.

Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I'm mean and I'm not. People expect me to have fangs.

I left my family, and I left my brother and sister, and I went and lived my dream. I saw everybody, but is it ever enough?

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.
