I love tour, but I don't like traveling at night or driving long hours. But I love touring. If my kids could be out there full time, I'd probably never go home.

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.

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

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.

We never worry about the big things, just the small things.

Put me up in front of a million people and ask me to speak. I'll flop. But put me behind my drums and I'll always go with it.

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

There is a school of thought that believes that sleep is for the night. You appear to be out to disprove them.

Customized jewelry is one of my targets with Bold Machines.

The day is coming when even the most closed-minded ridiculers will have to face the truth.

Boys who spent their weekends making banana nut muffins did not, as a rule, excel in the art of hand-to-hand combat.

Frequent and violent temptations were a proof that the citadel of the soul had not fallen and that the devil raged to make it fall.

Wealth is not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of inspiration.

To be completely featured as human. First of all, man must live with the truth.

We are just here, right? We are just people doing our thing. And the most important aspect of anything we do is our motivation, why we do it.

When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul.
