You gotta lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else.

A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.

It takes us a long time to write a song that we all really like, so it makes sense that it would take a while for the listener to get there, too.

I think most people start rock bands in their early twenties or teens, but I was almost thirty at the time when the band started really doing anything and it took another several years before people started caring about us.

I became at peace with the darkness or the personality that I have. I am usually pretty funny and happy.

Sadness is not always the worst feeling. Sometimes it's a really pleasurable thing to be overwhelmed with sadness.

I'm going to keep drinking on stage. I have a pretty healthy relationship with alcohol. I know how far to go and when to stop.
