All the selling out talk is really overrated, the funny thing is it hardly ever comes from bands, it comes from some kid who thinks they're so punk because they have a purple mohawk

I believe that working independently will give artists the ability to communicate the full extent of their art and not just a piece of it that might sell.

I grew up skateboarding, but I don't even do that anymore.

I always want to do different things. I'm always obsessed with trying to do different things.

I don't get boy bands these days. Thye don't write their own songs and everything is choreographed from their dance moves to how they have sex with each other after the show.

The first song I sent over was Up All Night. People say that sounds like Angels on a Blink record. Well, no - that's just me!

When there are no lyrics there are many parts of the imagination that can fill in the meanings of the music, so I strongly believe that it can be more powerful at times.
