Farts and poop are still funny and will always be funny.
I dated the same girl all through high school.
It really expresses a man in pain.
Home for me is wherever my wife and kid are.
I like to get Honey Combs, and Apple Jax, and Captain Crunch Berries and mix them all together, but I’m freak and I use water instead of milk.
Parents don’t understand kids and kids don’t understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
I kinda like the duality of California and the dark side, the underbelly of California.
I lived in small town out in the desert and my friend used to steal his mom’s car in the middle of the night. He’d drive over to my house, I’d sneak out and we’d go out to the desert and just burn things down.
All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn’t define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that’s fine.
There’s also this weirdness to California, this darkness, it’s a place where people come to follow their dreams and sometimes don’t make it.
I don’t have a problem being on ‘MTV,’ and I don’t have a problem being on the radio. I actually like it. So there. And anyone that calls me a sell out is just jealous.
I just want everyone out there to know that I’m super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.
Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.
I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.
The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There’s no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that’s acceptable.
I don’t stream or buy CDs pretty much everything I buy, I do it on iTunes.
All the really pretty girls get pregnant.
California to me as a concept or as an idea always seems like endless optimism and endless opportunity – when people think of California they think of palm trees and blue skies and gorgeous sunsets and beaches and everything else.
I feel like anyone can be a kid forever as long as you have that mindset and attitude towards the world.
The strongest human emotion is probably love. I think it’s universal. I think that across language and country and time and everything else, probably love.
