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

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.

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.

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

If we’re going to kiss, it has to be book-worthy.

...as no one can be just without love, so no one can truly report without understanding.

When an impressive level skill is accompanied with consistent action on the right plan, success becomes the only possible destination.

Holy name alone is sufficient to take you back home back to godhead. However to cultivate the mood of surrender You need a Guru.

It's just a matter of writing the kind of book I enjoy reading. Something better be happening at the beginning, and then on every page after, or I get irritated.

A rare bird on this earth, like nothing so much as a black swan.

Just what I needed—a necromancer with an attitude. Oh, wait, I was a necromancer with an attitude.

I can't tell the difference between wrong and right, are you laughing at me?

If it takes seven days to make a living, you ought to be doing something else.
