If I come up with rules or limitations it focuses me in a direction. And those rules can change if you realize it's a dumb idea. You start to mutate it to see what fits best.
I believe there's a God but I'm not too sure of his relevance.
Tired faith all worn and thin, for all we could have done, and all that could have been.
I want to do something that matters.
The Grammys make me hate music, and certainly everyone in the ass-licking music industry.
I hated school . . . I freaking hated it. The fact is that it revolved around something you didn't have access to. If you weren't on the football team, if you were in the band, you were a leper. When people say those were the best years of our lives, I want to scream.
People are always saying, 'You're really nice, I thought you were going to be a complete asshole.' I'm getting pretty fed up with it. I just want to say to them, 'Well I could always piss on your head.'
Sometimes I think I spend my whole life trying to figure out where I fit in.

My music has been a sort of personal therapy. It's got me out of tough times, it has been the friend that I needed, when I didn't have a friend there.
If you have something to say, then say it. Express yourself and break the rules.
An integral part of any relationship is knowing that you could be killed in your sleep at any time.
