Success gave me confidence as an artist. And now I'm able to do what I want without anybody thinking it's dumb.

The only place I'm recognized is at the mall, because that's where the teens are.

L.A. doesn't have any big personality to me; it's not inspiring.

I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.

We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.

At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.

I've gotten to where my hair is like my onstage prop; I need to hide behind it and throw it around - it's my slo-mo effect.

I love tiny, plastic realistic food magnets. I don't know why. They're hilarious.

'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is my number one biggest influence artistically in every way.

A fan once asked if he could have a piece of my hair for voodoo. I said no, so he hugged me and plucked out a couple of hairs and ran off.
