Nobody ever cares what I say! I feel badly about it, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.

It seems to me, that's the only thing that ends up being really fulfilling or satisfying - your career.

Labels want to capture a certain market of kids and blah blah blah, and it's true, I just never think about that stuff. It's all part of a chain that's moving along, but this phase of music has to switch.

If you have very few experiences in your life, romantically, or whatever you're doing, then of course you're going to talk about those, because there were only a few of them - as opposed to the people who repeat patterns, always at the bar, always with someone, always blah blah blah.

When you've got insane drums and a lot of guitar, it's really hard to mix the vocals, to mix it all well.

People don't seem to care about convictions any more. When I was a teenager, the deal was that, y'know, you had a band that you were really loyal towards, almost to a fault, and you stayed really loyal to that band. That was the whole thing, that was such a big deal.
