I’m constantly fighting with my manager to reduce the amount of time I have to spend on promotional activities, so I can get back in the studio and work on new music.

The internet has not granted us more control in relation to the record company because we’re still bound by an agreement with them not to release our music without their consent. But they generally let us do what we want, anyway, so it doesn’t matter who’s officially in control.

Most of the songs I write just very directly from my life. I don’t have a big imagination. Whenever I tried to write from fantasy, it comes out sounding really fake.

If enough people out there want a physical product, I’ll be happy to make one. I’d say about 10,000 people is “enough.”

I do want to make music that people love, but I also want to make music that I love. I know I can’t please everyone with anything I do, so I don’t think too much about how other people are going to take things.

It could appear that I’m some kind of natural genius, but it’s just a million small lessons I’ve picked up over the years.

With each step I take, I see that my ability to perform gets a little better. So until it starts getting worse, I’m going to keep moving forward.

I’m dumb, she’s a lesbian.

I have no interest in emo. I’m all about rap metal.
