"I think I've changed a lot as a person."
"I feel that I've grown up a little bit and I'm actually ready to settle down."
"There's a lot of things that go on when you're on tour that cannot be controlled. I'm not even talking about myself, but of course there's sexual activity and drugs, fighting and language; it is certainly not a place to raise a family."
"Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs."
"I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo."
"One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like, not to change."
"I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment."
"I've been told by people that it's okay to cry but, you know what, it's been used against me."
"So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun."
"Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person."
"Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music."
"Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs."
"As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked."
"If they weren't laughing with me, okay; if they want to laugh at me it's better than nothing."
"I think aerobics are great, of course, but it just bores me out of my mind."
"I used to try to run five miles every other day, which I worked up to and I was doing it, but I was subjected to my own thoughts for forty minutes without any sensory input, and I couldn't stand what I thought."
"I think anyone who has an opinion, and voices it, will offend someone."
"Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult."
"I want to stay away from politics, or else I'll probably end up putting my size fifteen foot into my mouth."
"I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death."
"I don't really like to play live. I don't like to be on stage. I feel very self-conscious."
"I also like to eat very much, so I like all different types of foods."
"If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland."
"It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me."
"I'm a big fan of the effects of alcohol."
