When you've got insane drums and a lot of guitar, it's really hard to mix the vocals, to mix it all well.

You like some things, you don't like others. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the others, it just means you have an opinion.

Nobody ever cares what I say! I feel badly about it, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I feel like people who are guarded and shut off, I feel like they should have to wear a button that says, "shut down", "guarded" or something.

The point of life for me is just to make connections with people and share experiences with people.

There were a few things scarier than a bipolar vampire off his meds, but to be honest, not that many.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.
