Music is the career Im lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

Kurt and I weren't the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.

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

People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
