To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom.

I think its very important to not be afraid to experience joy in the middle of sorrow.

We have to believe, as creators - just like a doctor doing heart surgery has to believe that he can save that person's life. You have to believe that your pursuit is not just a noble pursuit, but a necessary and inborn pursuit to uncover something.

I'm not really a nostalgic person.

I think I work in two worlds. I'll always try to kick through a wall. I did that when I was younger and I still have my way of doing that.
