People never cease to amaze us.

If you lose count of how many cookies you ate, the calorie intake ceases to exist. True story.

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

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

Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.

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.

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

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.

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.

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've been really fortunate where I've made stuff that connects to people on a positive level, and that makes me feel really good, but I can't feel comfortable in dictating what they're supposed to feel out of it, nor am I a professional in something where I can really help people any farther than creating the things that I make to help myself.

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.

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

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.

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.

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