It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.

I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.

We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.

A lot of power-pop comes out of LA, a lot of speed metal comes out of New York.

I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
