I don't write music for critics or hipsters. I write for me.

Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far, did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star, and don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who you are?

I don't like critics; I really don't like them. I think most of them are ignorant and don't have a clue!

I work out. I try to work out every day. That keeps me in the moment, which is great. Keeps my head from thinking about the future and the past too much. I love working out. That really helps me a lot.

It's such a thrill to perform live. You never know if you're going to get hit with a bottle or a bra.

Whenever I get upset, I remember that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4 to stick up your middle finger.

When I was 18, there were 50 people that I called my friends. Today, there are only three, but I'm glad to have those three. If you have three people that you can really call your friends, then you truly have it made.
