Right now, it hasn't affected my music other than the fact that I don't have time to write any of it. That's no different from when I first started a….

I've had more people in my life take their lives than... I think it's out of proportion with most people. I think a lot of them gravitate towards me ….

I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll..

Then again, I think about high school every day and I think about being a little kid every day too..
