I can never turn a tour into a vacation.

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

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

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.

Weirdly, I was still trying to be the older brother, and trying to get him [Tom Berninger] to try to be more like me a little bit. Or not be more like me but... I was frustrated that he sometimes let things stop him in his life, and he let the wind get knocked out of his sails a few times.

I usually always think of characters and sometimes the characters are a little bit invented, so it's nice to give these invented, blurry, personas an actually name. It makes me get closer to them or something like that. But they're not all real, they're weird amalgamations of reality.

I actually don't go to shows anymore. Rock concerts have lost their appeal for me.
