I'd like to meet:
"Never underestimate a dumb question."
"Britney Spears. Because she's a girl, I wouldn't smack her - I'd lock her in a closet with poisonous spiders or something. Let her think about what she's doing to the youth culture of America."
"Pop is an easy way for evil business people to make a lot of money.
But I find myself humming a Christina Aguilera song every once in a while."
On Chuck "He exists in the heart of every young person in America."
The coolest thing in the world is being on the Ozzfest in the middle of the day, with 10,000 sweaty people drinking beer, singing along to [our cover of Madonna's] "Like a Virgin."
"Most of our evolutions as a band have been very natural. A lot of what [makes] a band heavy is guitar distortion. I know Michael has been slowly drifting away from that metallic sound, even though we never really considered ourselves to be a heavy metal band. His guitar tones have become a lot more warm, as opposed to crunchy. Also, I think that we've just been getting better at writing songs as a group. We were very young when we started this band. We're still learning our art."
"Our fans are a bit militant, God bless 'em. That someone could give us a glowing review, make a factual mistake and our fans could glom on to that like a fucking piece of meat in a pihrana-infested pool, that's crazy. I gotta take that as some sort of dysfunctional compliment."
"Don’t let a grade decide your self-worth. Personally, in my opinion, someone should gauge their self-worth on what they’ve accomplished that makes them feel good….not in the hedonist aspect, but in the sense of personal accomplishment, as far as what they’ve accomplished for them, as far as their self development and creativity is concerned."
"I think freedom of speech is important, but coupled with responsibility"
"I've been in situations where a girl will be looking at me, and I'll approach her and I'm a little nervous. So I'll make motions and get so nervous it's a lost cause. I almost feel like apologizing. Maybe I weird girls out. Maybe I should stop talking about quantum theory in a bar."
