Say what you want but you NEVER say it with violence!
The Jersey mentality is: I work, I drink, I stay up all night, I try to meet a girl, it's a waste of time.
So many people treat you like you're a kid so you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window.
Rock'n'roll is not red carpets and MySpace friends, rock'n'roll is dangerous and should piss people off
The more people that learn about you, even if you're an underdog, then you can come under fire a lot and the more attention you get and the more threatening or dangerous you appear to people. And the more people try to knock you down.
I see you lying next to me, with words I thought i'd never speak, awake and unafraid, asleep or dead?
My music is - I don't want to say my main focus, but it's what comes most naturally to me.
So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black t-shirts?
I just wanna kind of give the world something special.
It was harder to break into comics than it was to become a singer in a rock band.
If you're ever in a dark place, don't resort to violence. Talk to someone; whether it be a therapist, teacher, parent, or just someone you can trust. We all have our dark places and it's important that you get help.
I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously...you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute...HA! I looked hot as a chick!
My favorite band at the moment is the Dresden Dolls, they're from Boston. It's a guy and a girl. She plays piano and he plays the drums and she also sings. You can find them on the web they're incredible.
I had no direction. I thought, 'I need to make a difference in my life,' and music was my answer.
