If I weren't in the band, I would be a fan.

When you're growing up you need your parents, but you don't want to be associated with them because you're trying to have your own life.

When I do interviews, I always go in with the attitude that something good can happen from it.

If I weren't in the band, I would be a fan.

I'm in a band. I have the basic idea, but when you surround yourself with really good players, why would I tell anyone what to play, because they're that good. They don't tell me what to play. They might encourage me, so that's what I do. I encourage them.

The worst thing your parents can do is try to emulate you.

I prefer to be an equal-opportunity offender of the guitar.
