I'm Not Into Albums That Are Meant

It's Good To Wander Into The Studio And Walk Out With Something That's Better Than You'd Imagined It To Be. If Everything Was As You Imagined It To Be, It Just Wouldn't Be As Much Fun.

Cbgb Was A Wild Place, ... The First Time I Ever Played There Was In 1987, I Think, With My Hardcore Band, Scream. And I Remember The Craziest [thing] About That Club Was You Could Be In Front Of The Stage And It Could Be Louder Than Any Show You've Ever Been To In Your Life. But If You Were Towards The Back Of The Club At The Bar, You Could Sit And Have A Conversation With Someone. It Was The Weirdest Thing To Me.

I Think People Should Feel Encouraged To Be Themselves.

Mom, Thanks For Letting Me Drop Out Of High School. Haha!

After 10 Years, I Have Been Touring For 20, Playing Basically The Same Type Of Music, A Four-piece Or Three-piece Type Of Music With Loud, Crashing Drums And Screaming Vocals. It Gets To The Point Where You're Looking For Something New, And You Don't Want To Do Something That's Way Too Left-field, For Fear That It Might Seem Contrived.
