I think sober is the new black. That's the cool thing now. I'm trying to make it the cool thing.Collection: Cool
I woke up one day, and for some reason all the hate and anger was gone.Collection: Anger
I'm not Mr. Goody-Good or anything, but I'm not stupid.
I stick to myself now on tours. I don't go out party, drink, smoke, do drugs. It's a dry bus. No one is allowed to bring drinks on the bus.
Stay away from those who would hang around you and drink and do drugs. Drugs are not the answer, because you have to remain focused. There is a lot to be had within music, but you have to stay focused.
By the way, the food in prison was disgusting. Like, baked beans every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
My life has totally changed. It's like, if someone cuts me off in traffic, I used to think about stopping and pulling them out of their car to deal with them. Now that I've got a kid, I totally re-think moments like that. There are a lot of things I can't do anymore and that's probably a good thing.
I want to be self-made and leave a mark.
It's better to have a voice without alcohol in my system from the night before.
I don't ever want to go back to prison.
I'm not disrespectful, I try to be polite.
I plan to take Hoods Up to another level of art once we've reached the level of doing so.
Back in the day, I don't think record labels were looking at Las Vegas too much for new acts, until the Killers came out.
I love A Day to Remember. They really had that style down of doing heavy songs mixed with pop songs when nobody was doing that style of music.
With Escape the Fate, I was pushing for synths and keyboards and stuff, and everybody was in disagreement with that. They didn't want to do that.
I was crazy. And I was too much of a diva. I'm glad I'm not like that anymore.
I just feel that I need to set my kid's future as best as I can and my family's future and my friends' future as well.
It feels really good when you get offstage and feel like the audience gave everything they have.
I've got a line called Head's Up that's street wear slash rock wear, rock and roll. Kind of a little blend of a line within a line that's very high fashion.
I've always been into fashion and obscure articles of clothing, and while this first set of Hoods Up includes beanies, shorts, shirts, leggings, sweaters and duffel bags, that is only the first tier of what we are planning.
I feel the world is over-saturated with products, and it isn't about what you're wearing as much as it is about what message you are trying to convey.
We at Hoods Up aren't just about celebrities. I am a huge fan of a lot of artists and actors, although I don't feel it is necessary to put it on them to help sell the brand. It would an honor if anyone were to wear it, celebrity or not.
I don't think many people get second chances when it comes to the music scene.
Compared to other bands that have gone off the deep end with their sound, you know, I'm very confident. I did not go off the deep end; it just improved.
I didn't realize how famous I got since I went to prison. I got fan letters, but I didn't realize it blew up like that.
You can't take a singer out of a band that's already established and put another singer in and dress him up the exact same way and try to pull the veil over these fans' eyes.
I pretty much do whatever I want when it comes to music and nothing is off limits to me.
I spent my whole musical career trying to be different and make songs that people think shouldn't go together... go together.
Popular Monster' is the voice inside my head, hoping you will listen. It's the story of a hero that's been falsely accused and torn down by society. It shows what happens when you get pushed too far.
Usually a video's fun, but after a while, after a couple hours it's like work because you've got to keep doing the scenes over and over and over again.
My dad raised me on metal, but my first serious love was hip-hop.
No one should do drugs thinking that they will make a great record. That's not the way to go, for sure.
I'm not perfect but I'm learning to be better.Collection: Perfect
The best measure of success, is how you deal with failureCollection: Measure Of Success
I we are born to die and we all die to live, then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?Collection: Live Life
What really bothers me, what gets me mad, is when people don't know the story, but then pretend like they know the story. That's what bothers me. That's what makes me mad.Collection: Mad
The more you kick me when I'm down, the more it truly helps.Collection: Helping
You may have won the war, but you will never take my crownCollection: War
I've been down a long road, but I promise you, it gets better.Collection: Long
I feel the madness creeping slowly. Loved by many I'm still lonely.Collection: Lonely
Only a handful of people are honest when they sing. A lot of people sing about very vague things, or they'll sing about someone breaking up with them, but a lot of people don't go too deep into their past and stuff, because they don't want it to be let out. I just do it anyway.Collection: Past
Be still my tongue, for i know not what to say; My life is lived in darkness and here i will remain.Collection: Darkness
I think it's a sacrifice that you have to make, because you lay yourself open for people to accuse and disrespect you. But it's worth it. It's worth it because not too many people are too honest anymore.Collection: Sacrifice
To whom it may concern, I'm the same.Collection: May
I've been beaten, I've been bruised, I was left for dead as well.Collection: Wells
I got these questions always running through my head. So many things that I would like to understand.Collection: Running
I wrote 90 percent of the record in prison. A lot of people wonder, "How the hell did you do that?" I just pretty much played drums on my legs with my hands and while I did that, I would hum the guitar parts and sing the melodies of the songs.Collection: Song
I have learned of this great force and will never test the boundless energy of what is karma.Collection: Karma
I also sing about my mom leaving me a lot - a lot of kids have their moms or dads leave them, so they relate to that. I wear my heart on my sleeve, so I think that's what the kids love.Collection: Mom
If I can make it out, anyone can make it out!Collection: Ifs
