I think the work is always personal. This album differs. It seems to be a lot more positive. It seems to have a certain amount of optimism about it.
John RzeznikI have this rule: It's like, if you write an amazing, cool song that you mean and then you go put your leather pants on and sing it in front of people; that's OK. But if you put your leather pants on and stand in front of the mirror and go, "Ok, I've got to write a song to fit these pants," then you're in trouble.
John RzeznikI 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.
John RzeznikIt's liberating to live at home during the week, but on the weekend it's like, Jesus Christ, how much History Channel can one human being watch?
