I think that happiness is a great thing to strive for, but very difficult to maintain - people are always striving for something different, and something better.

I don't stream or buy CDs pretty much everything I buy, I do it on iTunes.

True happiness for me is playing a concert in Blink-182, and then hanging out with my friends and my wife and son, and going out for Mexican food.

Too many bands practice in their garage, play a couple of shows locally, and expect opportunities to appear from the sky. Bands have to push, work, grind, and struggle to make it happen on their own.

Maybe people would be surprised to know that I listen to old Neil Diamond albums from time to time. The man rocks. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.

It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.

I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.
