Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything.

"What I Like about The Sims is that I don’t have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It’s fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don’t know why I picked that name; it’s kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favourite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She’s really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It’s pretty huge."

There are really so many people trying to get control over you on a daily basis and steal your soul in some way, take a part of you…"
"Um, lots of people grab my ass. I’m actually starting to get this thing now where people grab my package. That actually happened once in Boston, it usually doesn’t happen. We went over to England and it happened at almost every show. I don’t really enjoy any kind of invasion of privacy like that I guess. Grabbing my package is obviously a total invasion of privacy I’m not into that at all."
"That’s what happens when you’re all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There’s a duality to each band member too. There’s a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really fucked up. There’s psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we’re probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!"
