She's definitely an angel sent from above. How can that not rub off on a man? What can I say? I'm a mama's boy.

I don't need anything to have a good time or be a hell-raiser. I was born one.

I'm not real good at surfing, and I'm terrified of sharks. That's, like, one of my main fears. Snakes, sharks, deep water, and commitment. I think those are my four big ones.

I've got my head screwed on in the right direction, for the most part. It may be turned a little bit to the left, but we're getting there.

If a really, really pretty girl needs a ride home, I'm your guy.

There's a song called 'My Faith' that's kind of my spiritual song on my record. It's a little bit of my softer side of me, comin' out of left field a little bit.

I try to just encompass the entire feeling and emotion behind the song the best way possible, and if that's 100,000 screaming guitars right in your face, then that's what's going down.

Looking back, we had the hard time, but the privilege, of actually coming up playing biker bars and little bitty college bars.

A lot of rap music can get repetitive.

I like to lift and do cardio to stay in shape, so I can walk the dog on somebody, and I like to be strong, but running 10 miles or a decathlon? That don't support my interests.

I got several litmus tests for songs, but usually the people at the publishing company... they're straight-shooters.
