I work, to this day, from morning to night, seven days a week. I'm always working two, three years ahead of my own timeline; I'm a workaholic.

I always was intrigued with writing my own stuff, and I was always really bad at learning other people's stuff.

I started out on guitar when I was nine years old, and I started playing bars and stuff when I was thirteen, and I've been playing ever since.

I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.

Why put off kicking somebody's *ss next week when I can do it right now.
