I don't have a girlfriend, I have a dog.

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.

All the really pretty girls get pregnant.

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 really enjoy helping a band form their sounds and ideas from initial spark to completed album. Being a producer is different in that, at the end of the day, it is not my art. It's THEIR art, THEIR ideas, THEIR message.

Never let anyone tell you how to live your life.

Hard work, studying and perseverance will get you no where in life......it's all about kissing ass
