During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.

I grew up the biggest fan of the Cure. Knew every lyric, had every album, B-side, single, poster, everything. Then cut to fifteen years later, and we're working on songs together. Ridiculous.

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

Mom's dad was in the army, stormed the beach at Normandy, fought through the French hedgerows, the Battle of the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge, and liberated concentration camps at the end of the war.

I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.

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.

When I was growing up skateboarding, a bunch of friends and I went to this thrift store and as we were leaving I jumped up and passed gas in my friend's face. I turned around and it wasn't my friend, it was this nice old lady who was just walking out of the store. That was probably one of the more awkward apologies I've had to make in my life.
