Screw them. Yeah. But not literally. I'm not advocating promiscuity.
Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I've ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.
There's no doubt that the ready availability of music online has created a thousand more opportunities than it's destroyed.
All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.
During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.
I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.
If at first you don't succeed, pay someone else to do it for you.
Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me, but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them.
My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.
I've learned some of the greatest life lessons from growing up in the skate and punk rock communities.
Everything in high school seems like the most important thing that's ever happened in your life. It's not. You'll get out of high school and you never see those people again. All the people who torment and press you won't make a difference in your life in the long haul.
I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.
I like the beaches in Orange County the best. I think Orange County has great beaches. Everything from Dana Point to Newport to Laguna; all over the place.
All the really pretty girls get pregnant.
The naked thing was short-lived. It was only around for about six months because we thought it was shocking. Once people expected us to do it we kind of never did it again.
It's so easy to put music out that it's difficult to sift through stuff that I don't like to find stuff I do like.
The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
Music is life. Music defines peoples' experience on this planet. Name one time in your life that wasn't punctuated by the music you listened to at the time. When people are down, they listen to music that commiserates that emotion. When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs.
