To me, nothing feels more like being dead than being in your 20s and having no direction in your life.
It just felt like we were the kids in the back of the class wearing black that nobody wanted to hang out with...I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You're still uncool.' And I was very happy with that revelation. And 'You're never gonna be cool so stop trying.' I had one of the best shows of my life that day.
My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name, it's kinda of random.
Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want.
It's OK to be different.
I am living proof that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better.
Life is but a dream for the dead.
I think normally people think that they're afraid to die but I actually think people are more afraid to live. People are more afraid to make the choices that they want because they're very hard decisions to make in order to be happy. I think a lot of people are really afraid of that. It's easy to be in a band because you have a lot of things to hide behind so that's really not always living...that doesn't always constitute as living life the way you want. But at times you have to make decisions that sometimes hurt others in order to live.
Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching
When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism.
There have been tours where we hit a different Wal-Mart almost every night.
This Song (Give Em Hell Kid) Is about getting Knocked Up. Has Anyone Here Ever Gotten Knocked Up?
