In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.

Darkness can be funny. It can be quirky. There are different ways that that stuff comes out as a creative person. But the actual conflicted, twisted, decaying, rotting soul? That's not me. No more.

Perfection is unattainable, so I like to live in imperfection.

I love a little distortion across the bass; I think it kind of adds something to the sound of the band when the bass is a little overdriven.

Some girl asked me for an autograph and I asked her why, she said because she admires me. I said she should see a shrink. Then she started crying and I started laughing.

I don't want to jump through hoops for people.

I don't fear death; I welcome it with open arms and a smirk. But until that wondrous day, I will continue to savor and celebrate all those who have graduated before me.
