Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.

Please be slow to judge ‘brothers’ who have a different calling.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society; pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.
