I just live my own life, and I don't read any of the magazines.

When I heard Nirvana, it changed my life.

I didn't get lessons of any kind I slept through school.

Always wear cute pyjamas to bed, you'll never know who u will meet in your dreams.

I'm just a really normal, sensitive kind of go-about-my business everyday kinda guy. People see the tattoos, and they either read things or they see things and they don't really know that I'm just this guy that gets up and makes coffee in the morning and hangs out with his friends and walks his dog and reads his Bible and goes about his day.

Benji usually tries to match his hair with his underwear, and you know how he had the pink hair for a while well we caught him in a pink thong one day!

People can say or think whatever they want... so in my reality, it's kind of irrelevant. I'm always the kind of person that does the right thing and keeps my side of the street clean.

Just stay true to yourself and true to wut you believe.

I don't see the necessity to be friends with anyone you've dated, but definitely out of respect of the time, you have to be kind of respectful, and that's what I try to do.

I've flown across America, I've scaled fences, I've stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I'm a hopeless romantic. There's no hope for me.

It's always a bit much, being in a band with your brother. We fight all the time, but it's kind of comical.
