As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.

I don't really like to play live. I don't like to be on stage. I feel very self-conscious.

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.

I think aerobics are great, of course, but it just bores me out of my mind.

I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.

I find that different types of music are good for certain activities.

I drink for the effect, because it loosens up the tongue a little bit.

Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult.

It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap.

It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.

Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.

If they weren't laughing with me, okay; if they want to laugh at me it's better than nothing.

Most bands don't even last fourteen months let alone fourteen years.

If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland.
