Asking someone to describe what something sounds like is like telling a blind person to guess what I look like.
Some kids are so depressed at home and with how people treat them in school that they cut themselves. This happens all over the world - kids who don't want to kill themselves, but nobody understands how much they hurt, so they cut themselves with razor blades.
Success is nice, but it shouldn't be the only reason why you're a musician.
You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.
I really wish Mike and Joe would stop drawing on me while I'm sleeping.
There are always going to be encounters that you kind of wish went differently. But the average fan really isn't fanatical.
Alone in a world, With millions of souls Walking in circles Trapped in their dreams unhealthy, unclean walking in circles, now do not disturb scream in silence everyone's sleeping
When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind.
I'm strong on the outside, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you.
I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.
I was a geek who thought I was cool. I didn't hang out with a particular clique, but with different people from different cliques. I was a total nerd, trying to fit in. Luckily, I found music and that was my niche. That sorta took me out of my geekdom. I was never invited to parties as a teenager - I turned up with the popular people. That's where the lyrics to 'Guilty By Association' came from.
What’s the worst thing I've stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.
When I'm writing, I'm constantly thinking about myself, because it's the only experience I have to draw on. And I don't see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that's why the fans are there.
