I don't know why everyone tries to be like everyone else or just tries to make it to the top when they should be themselves and do their own thing.
I love it at our shows when there's the big, tough, punk guys standing next to the weird teenagers and the gay guys. It's so weird, and it's so awesome.
I have so many photos of myself in my room when I was a kid; I had one wall that was all TLC posters that I got free at some record store, then another wall was all Public Enemy, and the last wall was all '90210.'
I wear a lot of wigs and stuff on stage to make my hair look bigger.
There's one side of me that just wants to get up on stage and be punk and go crazy and stuff like that; and there's also this other side of me that's like a grandma - really into arts and crafts.
I think I'm a really sweet guy, kind of shy and nice and stuff.
Never did much art till I was in my 30s, except for painting video sets, designing record covers and T-shirts, and making zines and stuff. I thought I was too punk for art and felt grossed out by white-room galleries and art people.
Beauty school gave me brain damage.
I want to add 'record mogul' to my list of accomplishments and make a disgusting amount of money so I can buy a house between Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
Gravy Train!!!! damaged me because I don't think I will ever again experience something so intense and exciting. We were so young and pent up - and didn't care about anything else in the world.
Everyone tries to be so slick and modern and computerized. I've always done everything myself with little money, so I guess it's become 'my look,' but it's not really intentional.
People should be themselves.
The music is super fun. I love writing the songs. I love performing, for the most part, and I love doing artwork, but I hate answering 100 emails a day and most interviews.
Bouncers suck.
I kind of got this weird feeling a couple years ago - I never went to college; did I miss out? I took one class, and I was like, no, I don't need to go to school.
In my day-to-day life, I'm not that wild.
I like keeping an ongoing list of dream collaborators on my phone. I like to write down all of my dreams, actually.
Often, I feel like a cheap imitation aesthetically looks better to me than the real, out-of-reach thing. It's amazing that brands create a whole illusion of exclusivity and luxury, and then you can go get the $5 version of a $30,000 thing and feel the same way but have a cool little secret.
I live for Snooki. She's so cute. I love her so much.
Hunx is kind of just, like, a really trashy punk band, honestly.
