I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

I also remember the second band I was in ever. We were called Hybrid. We got a show at this local street fair, and we were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. There was an ad in the paper, and it said that 'Hybird' is playing. I was so mad.

Where my heart lies is in the real-life, but at the same time part of it lies in this creative realm where I need to go in and put out that fire, scratch that itch, in order to be all rounded.

I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there and make this a record for mass consumption, this was really just a way for me to get out of my own situation and reclaim that part of myself - so when making the songs, I wanted a testament to what I'd gone through, I wanted a snapshot of those moments.

There's lots of bands where somebody will write lyrics and somebody else will sing them. It works for a lot of people, but that feels weird to me. I don't mean this in a bad way at all but it just feels fake.. I guess in my heart of hearts, whether the person has a good voice or not I want [the songs] to come from them. I don't know why.

My biggest addictions have been chocolate cake, mashed potatoes, and butter sandwiches.

My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.

Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.

These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense.

Image
I feel like you have to make art because you have to make it. But the end result of it- that last stage- you have to show it to somebody else to hopefully get a rise or reaction out of them- [to see] if it’ll affect someone else.

I'm a big proponent of letting songs tell me what they wanna sound like.

I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.

Emo always meant emotional. Any kind of art or music should be emotional. If its not, than it's pretty much just a jingle selling bleach or pizza.

I think that's really the beauty of life, like, we're this collection of moments, this collection of experiences that we've had, or little tics that we've stolen from other people, it's like we're this amalgamation of all of that.

My tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps

People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.

Having kids had a big effect on me, but nothing more than when they started to get older- that really made me realize how fleeting each moment is.

Love what you do and who you truly are. Be willing to die for it. If you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong

Festivals are weird, you never know what to expect so it's a bit more nerve wracking then playing your own show.

No one is born with hate in their heart. Hate is something that has been taught. It is not an innate survival skill that we need It is a form of stupidity that penetrates our minds and will eventually destroy us.
