I'm living a life until I die so there will be no shortage of things to sing about.

Don't be afraid to put anything on paper because the best art has some element of danger to it and if you hold back then people will kind of be able to tell that you're trying to be something you're not.

I used to download a lot of music, and I understand it in this economy, but personally I buy my music. It feels good to be able to support a band you like. Plus, it'd be really hypocritical if I were still doing that, since I really hope people are buying and experiencing my music.

My grandparents are holocaust survivors so I was really aware at a young age how horrible human beings can be to one another.

I like to play music that people can feel deeply but it's also interesting to listen to - a nice balance between cathartic and pop music.

It's healthy for a band to become slightly less relevant

I think life awards you if have your priorities in the right place.
