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

I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.

I was accepted by cool people because the cheerleaders thought I was cute. The jocks knew the jock-girls thought I was cute. I just chose not to hang around with them.

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

My lyrics are a big pile of contradictions.

I'm thought of as this pissy, complaining, freaked-out schizophrenic who wants to kill himself all the time.

I wish there had been a music business 101 course I could have taken.
