I said to myself, 'Man, I'm so tired of hearing songs about peoples' ex-girlfriends. It's really nauseating. And the whole me, me, me aspect of it was just like (overdone).
You all have no idea how many (expletive) bugs there are on this stage.
I'm sick of seeing my face. But I am allowed to be sick of seeing my face, 'cuz it's MY f**kin face.
Surrounding myself with fans makes me feel like I'm not going throgh it alone.
To me, nothing feels more like being dead than being in your 20s and having no direction in your life.
I understand that kids look up to me, that some people might have gotten sober because of me.
'Watchmen' is not only the greatest comic ever written, it's a really important work of fiction.
Welcome to the new church! Can I get an 'Amen'?
Yeah, man, I agree, ... At the beginning of the film, I look like Jabba the Hutt, and then by the end of the film, there are all these shots of us and we all look like skeletons.
We're so excited about playing the new record that we just want to play the whole thing.
When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become.
We've always wanted to give something back to our fans, and to play the kind of shows we know they want to see, ... And we really think this tour is exactly that.
Have you seen my Kung fu lately? Cause it has gotten totally awsome!
We like to kidnap them in a van, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE!
