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.

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.

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.

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

Memories sharp enough to cut himself on - the smells, the sounds, the feel of the air on his skin, the desperate hope and mad anger.

Be careful what you choose to experience, because you never remain the same person as earlier. Something intrinsically changes you forever!

If I could, I would kiss him every second of every day. For all the days.

I believe that often people even stay in bad relationships longer than they should because the fear of the pain of dating is scarier than the pain of a bad relationship!

Nature, the vicar of the Almighty Lord.

Sport teaches you about commitment and to dedicate yourself. Whether you make it to the top or not, sport gives you great skills that you can use in life.

X-Men films have always been big, and necessarily so, because of the stories they have to tell.

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

When I was young, I wasn't a misfit or anything. I had friends in all the different social groups. But I had issues - just personal issues, insecurities and other things that had happened in my life.

For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends.
