And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.

Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.

I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.

Express yourself, put stuff down on tape, and see what lives.

Take care of your colon and your colon will take care of you.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you.

Who said that parents’ beliefs should be adopted by their children?

If you think it's going to rain it will.

Is it not a terrible thing to be forced by society to do things which all of us as individuals regard as abominable crimes?

No one will do it for you.

I don't really understand that process called reincarnation but if there is such a thing I'd like to come back as my daughter's dog.

The most invigorating form of reading matter is, of course, a will.

The only 'anti-fascist' song that makes any sense to me is the Beatles' 'Love Is All You Need', because, quite simply, it's true.
