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.

The past is only the future with the lights on

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

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

Getting to meet other artists that I admire is one of the best parts of my job. I don't know if I'd say "star struck" as much as excited to hear other peoples' ideas.

I've learned some of the greatest life lessons from growing up in the skate and punk rock communities.
