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

The whole slacker generation totally didn’t apply to us musically.

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.

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.

A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.

And I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it’s enormously comforting to believe that you’re going to see your loved ones.

A man cannot be comfortable [or cannot be made comfortable] without his own approval.

I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I’m beautiful.

I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.

I spend most of my time wearing uncomfortable things, so for me, it’s all about trainers.

Basketball sneakers are for people who want to be comfortable. I rather be uncomfortable and just look nice.

I tend to go with a daytime look, pretty natural, but I always fill in my eyebrows – I hate if I leave the gym and my eyebrows aren’t done; I’m just very uncomfortable with myself.
