For me, we're all comfortable, we're all happy, hopefully, but at the same time something will happen and you have to kind of understand that phenomenon. You have to understand what's going on and I've always been fascinated by craziness and lunacy.

There's never the same road. It's always, every time it's always a different road.

For many people out there in the world, music is the only thing that gives them relief, so it’s awesome to be a part of that tradition.

To speak up and stand by my guns the entire time...To stand by my methodology. That's why I kind of made myself the producer.

I can do whatever I want, I can have my band, I can use different people, I can use studio players, it's complete, total freedom for me. If I want to make a video, now that I own my own record company, if the video has an American flame being engulfed by a huge puddle of oil, I can do that, I can say that if I want to.

I'm not a perfect song writer, but I am song writing problems with dynamics, instrument change and arrangements.

My idols have always stuck to their guns and said what they want to do.
