sports emotional race
I don't like the human race in general. We are the only species who hunt for sport, who kill due to emotional need.
song believe psychosis
I don't believe in, and I am a devout non-believer, in playing new songs live if the subjected and pathetic crowd has not heard them before because I consider it like mass psychosis and genocidal.
littles tongue drink
I drink for the effect, because it loosens up the tongue a little bit.
alcohol fans bigs
I'm a big fan of the effects of alcohol.
way treats golden-rule
Treat each other the way you would like to be treated.
suicide suicidal darkness
Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.
pain disappointment cry
I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment.
labels ive-learned contracts
I guess I've learned that there's really no such thing as a bad label, there is only a bad contract.
play self conscious
I don't really like to play live. I don't like to be on stage. I feel very self-conscious.
feet fifteen want
I want to stay away from politics, or else I'll probably end up putting my size fifteen foot into my mouth
fighting talking drug
There's a lot of things that go on when you're on tour that cannot be controlled. I'm not even talking about myself, but of course there's sexual activity and drugs, fighting and language; it is certainly not a place to raise a family
song writing wrists
Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.
human million
I'm a 'specist.' I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race. I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man.
atheists change crisis death hoping realize start time
There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God.
