If you wanna know how not secure you are, just take a look around. Nothing’s secure. Nothing’s safe. I don’t hate technology, I don’t hate hackers, because that’s just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn’t solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
As much as I want to go out and tour every single day and I’m ready to rip it right now, there’s five people in the band, there’s five people who’ve evolved and grown and there’s five people who have to get on the same page and want the same things, and it takes a lot to tour.

I’m a sentimental guy.
Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.
There’s an insecure part of me that comes out of me, I get nervous. I don’t know why, I wish I could overcome it because it gives me an anxiety feeling.

I don’t fight people for fun.
Being in front of all these people staring at you and it helps you to dig down and become more emotional and get lost in it as you’re feeding on people’s energy.
Without those hackers, we wouldn’t solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
