When you make music, you’re in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.
I understand a lot of the female needs. I’m not saying I know all of them all the time though.
I learned early on how to treat women by the examples that were set around me.
I kinda have the opposite of ADD. I have a hyper-focused disorder, where if there’s a given task in front of me I really concentrate on that.
A very common thing these days is people show up and they ask us in the band to sign with a Sharpie right on their skin and they go get it tattooed the next day. Then they’ll show up at another show and they’ll have their tattoo.
It’s nice to be able to communicate digitally with people around the world.
I’m pretty masochistic. I kill myself for my craft – Literally.
It was great growing up a nomad. To this day I still love hiking and back packing.
All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don’t know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home.
Thank God for the Italians, the most forgiving people of the world. And they sing so loud you can barely hear the music!
Music should never be a job. It should be your hopes, your dreams and everything you believe in.
I understand that coffee and cigarettes are cool, fashionable and all that. But agree the tea with cookies still taste better.
I’m constantly failing, but not upset about it. I think there’s a great deal to learn from that.
My coolest job was when I was 12 and I was a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the fleabags and stoners worked there, so that’s where I wanted to be.
I could be your worst enemy. But i would rather have friends then enemies, and i go to great length to make that the case. There’s much more reward in having friends.
Sometimes you have to fight in order to be free.
Be the person you want to be, not the person you have to be.
Follow no path. Make your own.
It’s okay to stand on your own two feet and to be different, to be yourself.
Don’t regret anything you do, because in the end it makes you who you are.
I always believe that the bridge between reality and a dream is work.
