Sex is funny and love is serious.

Luxury and Ostentation usually make me feel antsy, like I'm going to get a case of gout.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.

I respect Chris Carrabba as a songwriter and I also respect his past. He's got this fierce, straight edge, kind of hardcore core. There's so many songs that people are connected to and they all came together in a kind of DIY way, which I really do respect.

I carry groceries home on the tank of my motorcycle.

But I'm not worried about seeking out the approval of others - that high school thing of joining the club.

When people come together around music, there's something ancient going on. It has to come from a genuine place and that's part of the challenge. You have to cultivate that authenticity everyday.
