My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I'm always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.

I just can't believe that anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can't believe it.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.

I hate myself, and I want to die

Every time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level... Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of.

I get a thrill meeting kids who are into alternative music.

You create attention to attract attention.
