“When you’re young, you’re not afraid of what comes next. You’re excited by it.”

There’s something about heartbreak that makes for great music, but the same could be said for Jägermeister. Hangovers make for great music, too.

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher’s pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

Nothing’s going to keep me from making music. If I were in the want-ads in the back of the paper or playing to six people at a coffee shop, I’d still love to make music.

When something good comes your way, you better feel fortunate, because it doesn’t last forever.

There’s nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!

I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.

I think I’m scared a lot. I’m scared of almost everything. And I’m constantly trying to work my way through each obstacle, whether it’s a present, past, or future relationship.

As I get older… I start to realize that life ain’t half bad. Each year, I’m amazed that I’m still alive. I don’t take any of this for granted, I’m a lucky dude.

I think that if you’re passionate about something and you’re driven and you’re focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.

It’s funny, there aren’t too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There’s a few – the really brilliant ones.

Always have the highest bar for yourself.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

I’m not afraid. Life is just such an adventure to me.

I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.

There’s a hero if you look inside your heart. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are.

An individual who is afraid to go outdoors for fear of being hit by a meteorite is generally regarded as neurotic.

And I’m afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust.

I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I’m not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.

Don’t be afraid to let her into your heart and when your down, don’t try to carry the whole world on your shoulders.

It’s not that she’s afraid to fall in love, she’s just afraid to be the only one who falls.
