compassion animal vegetarianism
I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision.
used heard
I heard recently that I used to date Patrick Swayze.
boys singing stitches
One time I was singing along with a boy that looked like me in the crowd and he pushed away the mic and started making out with me and accidently bit my lip and I had to get stitches.
statements
I don't really like to infuse music with politics - but I wouldn't say as a general statement that it shouldn't be.
swings tree faces
I'm Davey. I sing, make faces and swing from trees.
art fun thinking
It's not that everything needs to have substance, but when nothing does then you know we're living in a bankrupt society, an artistically bankrupt society, and that's not okay. I think there's room for forms of entertainment that are very light and frivolous and fun, but when those forms of entertainment, forms of "art" if you will, become presented as something more than that, and are believed to be something more than that, then we've got a lot of problems.
jesus trying muffins
Usually, old ladies tell me to find Jesus. Look, I'm just trying to find some chai and a good vegan muffin.
nice freak neighborhood
I was the freak who moved into the nice neighborhood.
drug-use practice people
Personally I have never found the practice of recreational drug use appealing. In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to be abhorrent.
christian stories shirts
I just heard a story from someone the other day where somebody was beaten up by Christians for wearing one of our shirts. Of course, that's a very Christian thing to do.
liking people ridiculed
People do get ridiculed for liking us or because they look the way they do and they're a part of what we do.
duran grew madonna might surreal
I grew up watching MTV, so it's very surreal to me to think that there might be someone out there watching MTV, looking at us the way I used to look at Davis Madonna and Duran Duran videos.
allowed closet effect family present side simply strength themselves whether wonderful
It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing, to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family, or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with, whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.
nurtured success
I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
