I kinda like the duality of California and the dark side, the underbelly of California.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.

It's so easy to put music out that it's difficult to sift through stuff that I don't like to find stuff I do like.

We reserve the right to make fun of every single person on planet Earth.

Even though it was January, in Los Angeles it was beautiful and sunny and the blue skies were out and it was hot everyday, so I think it was just a product of our environment. And California to me as a concept or as an idea always seems like endless optimism and endless opportunity - when people think of California they think of palm trees and blue skies and gorgeous sunsets and beaches and everything else. But 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.

It feels humiliating to be in a band where you have to be apologizing for one person all the time.
