There's a pattern when tours start - a pattern of infighting, of making up, of breaking up, of addiction. There's a pattern of going to jail. There's a pattern of passion for music.

Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue in New Orleans on Mardi Gras = bad idea!

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.

You want to love unconditionally everything you do, or don't do it.

The more confident you are, the more you can let go and believe that the people you've chosen to be in your circle are able to do what they say they're going to do and what they're really good at. It has made me a better band member, too.

We have a growing new fan base, and we wanted to get out now, and play now, and the timing was right.

My favorite moments are when the bass falls in the pocket with the drums, the guitar is on top just slicing it, and the melody is scraping across like a sidewinder shattering through the monitor. It's just, ahhh, I love it! That's the jones, the hit, the buzz right there. It gets me off.
