My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.

The first kiss between two people is something really good in life.

I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

To make big steps, you've got to take action yourself and not listen to other people.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

My guitar playing has not developed as much as I think it could because I never practice. I only play when I'm writing or recording or when I'm playing on tour. When I'm sitting around at home, I never play.

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.
