Life's too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don't care.

I'm used to writing short stories, which is primarily what I like to read.

I'm not reading any novels right now, though not for lack of trying. Unless they're really good, my attention in most novels tends to sputter out after a hundred pages or so - an awful admission for someone who is trying to write one, but it's true.

We now live in a world where accessibility is paramount. So I think we just juxtapose that a little bit and maybe play the internet like a game because we don't like to be exposed as individuals, we like to be an entity.

Everything's immediately diminished. That's why there's no real rock stars anymore. People are too accessible.

The main reason we understand what we're doing is because we're the individuals doing it. One of the things that surprises me is that all the songs are about me, and it's cool that people care.

When I was young I was one of those kids that got pulled onstage at a Green Day concert. That was pretty awesome.
