“The only person thats gonna hold you back is yourself”

For me personally, Blink-182 has been a big influence. Just seeing them way back in the day play little shows and start from a garage band to where they are now, makes me believe anything is possible if you truly want it and commit your life to it.

I think it’s important to have a consistent communication with the fans but I don’t think it should be expected.

The fans out in New Zealand are amazing. They’re genuinely excited and appreciative that you’re playing their country.

Social networking, I believe, has completely changed the relationship between band-members and fans.

Traveling takes a lot out of you.

I think that talent, good songwriting and passion, will always outlast hype.

The fact that our message and my lyrics can have a positive impact on someone’s life is really astounding.

It definitely makes me appreciate what I do even more because I’m not just doing it for self-gain, I’m doing it to help others.

Fans these days seem to almost expect a response from band-members any time they tweet or leave a comment etc.

I had a vision of what it would look like if like seventy people at the same time went nuts and sprayed water everywhere.

When I was about 12 years old back in Houston, my Dad used to take us to the driving range.

My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to give back however I can for the many sacrifices of these incredibly brave men and women.

Any time someone achieves success before they’ve earned it, it always comes back to haunt them.

Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn’t appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.

Never relinquish clothing to a hotel valet without first specifically telling him that you want it back.

I knew Bobby Dylan back in the days when he lived in the village.
