I mean, you can’t have sex until you’re married if you’re Mormon. The first time I had sex, my parents found out. They were listening in on the phone while I was talking about sex to my girlfriend. They freaked out, man. They both cornered me in my bedroom.
When people hear our record, they’re not going to be able to put us into the ‘New Metal’ category or the ‘pop-punk’ category or the ‘aggressive emo’ category. I think people will be able to take it for what it is.
We definitely didn’t want it to be anything like our first or second records. We wanted to experiment more than we ever had and take any new idea and run with it as far as we could.
We have this day to be alive. We better lay down and give up, or stand up and really make some worthwhile memories for ourselves. ‘Cause we’re not going to be alive forever
The only way to fall in love is to allow yourself to be vulnerable. The only way to dare to dream and making incredible things happen is to be vulnerable.
Whether the color of your skin is black, white, yellow, brown or purple – the extent of this tragedy is so incredibly devastating that we had to do something.

It’s about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and that’s such a great thing. Every day is a new surprise.
I just kind of thought about doing this my whole life. I never doubted myself once. I’ve always been singing, and I’ve always wanted to be on tour with a rock band.
When I hooked up with them I was still going to Narcotics Anonymous. But they were never into drugs. If it weren’t for the band, I think I’d still be getting high.
No matter how many times people try to pick my lyrics apart, nobody will really understand what these songs truly mean to me because I would rather not get into it.
I’ll never be bothered if I don’t have a hit because you look at the songs that are hits and they’re none of my favourites. Just the fact that we do have fans waiting here, that’s exciting enough.
If there is a God, he or she or it or whatever higher power there is is behind us so long as we’re using our music in an inspirational way. I’m here for a reason, and I was given a talent, so I’ll continue to try to use it.
