Quote

You can only hold on to something for so long and enjoy it just by yourself, what's the point? It's very selfish. For better or for worse, I feel like the point of all of this is to make someone feel something.

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

The future’s too bright to dwell on the past. Life moves fast, run faster.

I love players like Thurston Moore. I mean, you can put notes down on a sheet of paper, and if you practice and get your chops up, you can play like an Eddie Van Halen or a Steve Vai. But nobody can do what Thurston Moore does he's his own guy. He talks through his instrument in a language that's all his own.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Popsicles should be the new black and then everyone would have one.

I don't understand how people can make such a fuss about people that are happy and in love, when there's people dying of hunger and war and they don't even notice that. I really don't understand that. That makes me so angry!

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

It could be anything, give a homeless guy a sandwich, help an old lady across the street like anything to make this world a better place. If everybody just did one good thing for another person like a selfless good deed just think about how much a better place this would be.

It's always awkward to pretend to play. I feel like Ashlee Simpson. Oooh, zing.

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.

I like taking my time and seeing the things around me and appreciating the now. I started to realize that the things that helped me do that were these things that brought me love, brought me joy. And if we're all just falling towards an eventual end, falling towards the ground, then these things are parachutes.

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