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.

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.

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

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

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

Fear is acceptable, as long as I don't allow it to cripple me...

You need me, Kane. Maybe even more than I need you.

Satan fell by the force of gravity.

Everything that becomes true starts with a manifesto

Healthcare is a tough situation.

Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere.

Let us all be men and women in full. Let us expect from ourselves more than we think we can give, more than we think we can do and more than we think we already know.

Feel indebted. Feel grateful. Then abundance grows.

I read Carver. Julio Cortázar. Amis's essays. Baldwin. Lorrie Moore. Capote. Saramago. Larkin. Wodehouse. Anything, anything at all, that doesn't sound like me.
