It’s easier to sit there and say you don’t like feminists because they don’t have a sense of humor.

I don’t know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn’t seem to be any rock ‘n’ roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It’s even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don’t, if you walk out onstage complacent, that’s not a good thing.

For me the challenge isn’t to be different but to be consistent.

I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it’s good to be home, for sure.
