People misinterpret what I say all the time: They think I'm being offensive, when really, I'm only being opinionated.

Asking about acting to me is like asking about junior high.

Again, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.

Touring definitely makes you appreciate home more, so when I can be home, I like to stay home.

I'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships. I've got a couple close relationships with friends, a close relationship with my family, and a close relationship with my guitar. I'll know if the right person comes along, and whatever then - cool - but it's not something I'm seeking out at the moment.

My style's not for everyone - I'm an extremist.

Everyone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.
