A band like Avenged Sevenfold I've praised quite a bit publicly, because it's a band that has moved into that arena-size thing for a hard rock band. ”

Being able to be one of the headline bands on Warped Tour was a dream I had since I was in middle school. ”

Being a singer, I can easily break facial extremities, but breaking my nose in Luxembourg was extremely painful. ”

I never anticipated seeing 40. ”

As you get older, you realize you're not that cool. You also realize the people you called posers are just people like you. ”

For us, we are interested in doing what's cool for us and what's cool for the audience. That's it. ”

We've won both the best and worst band in so many major magazines - we just get written off so much, but we don't care. ”

I don't want to paint myself as some villain - I was never a bad guy doing horrible things, but I got too caught up in wanting a very specific thing to happen to the band. Ultimately, I had to find the ability in myself to get over that and stop being so stringent and learn to laugh a little bit more. ”

Rock stars aren't crapped out of the sky. ”

It seems like a gross waste of time to continue our career predicated on the idea that we're going to divide opinion. What's more important is just doing something that you love. ”
