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

I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.

There's also this weirdness to California, this darkness, it's a place where people come to follow their dreams and sometimes don't make it.

I think when people are jumping on top of each other's ideas, it elevates it a lot more than me going into the studio and working on something all by myself for a while.

What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.

If something is wrong with you, hate someone else for it

From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you're in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly.
