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.
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.
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.
nurtured success
I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
continue great
I mean that'd be great if we could continue to be staples of alt-rock radio. I don't take that for granted.
