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.

You like some things, you don't like others. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the others, it just means you have an opinion.

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

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

I feel like people are actually just built differently, have different chemicals going on in their goddamn brain.

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.
