I'm really nostalgic for Malibu area because I've spent so much time there. People don't think of California as having a history.

The love for a child is more an unconditional sort of love ... Although some parents are really narcissistic. In general, I think there is an expectation that love will be unconditional, but obviously it's not - even after living with someone for years.

Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think

I tend to want to listen to melancholy music, but sometimes if you're feeling too sad, you can't.

I always felt like an outsider to the music world in a certain way. There was so much less of an art culture in L.A. - and particularly in the South Bay.

I was talking to somebody about the L.A. hardcore scene, and they were saying that it was hard for them to picture punk rock at the beach. Like, the aesthetic didn't mix or something - black forms in the sand.

People pay to see others believe in themselves.
