If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.
I think the fact that Napster is stealing recorded music is something that we have to stop. It's taking money out of my kid's mouth. That's the way I look at it. It's wrong. It's inherently wrong. It's stealing.
I grew up in a family full of yellers. People screaming and chaos goin' on, I feel right at home in it. I've really worked on myself with anger management. I try to save that for the stage.
My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives.
I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films.
I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.

Success to me is being able to do what I love, make a living at it and to support myself and the ones I love.
Being a child that grew up with a single mom back in the 70s, Fathers Day to me was always a very uncomfortable time. At school, we would make Fathers Day cards for our dads, and I usually mailed one to my dad, and he hardly ever responded.

I've always loved aggressive, hard, noisy, yet melodic bands, and at the same time I've always loved 'Blue' by Joni Mitchell.
I have my dark side like anybody, you know, depression, anxiety... and I write about gritty, real-life stuff.
I like older people; I think older people have a lot of flavor.
When some people get angry, they turn into victims, but when I get angry, I turn to action.
