Touring definitely makes you appreciate home more, so when I can be home, I like to stay home.

When I have time, I write other things. I'm working on a book, I paint, I sculpt, I play with my dog, I watch television - I catch up on South Park or movies or whatever I've missed, normal stuff.

I think that me now, I wouldn't take a 16-year-old seriously in any capacity. "You're a kid, why would I listen to you? You're a child."

Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.

You can't be a band and not play, and playing is so invigorating. It breathes life into you. So does creating something out of nothing.

It's less frustrating if someone recognizes me for it [ Pretty Reckless ]; it's more frustrating that I still get asked about it.

Again, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.

Once I got to an age where I was old enough to make my own decisions, I quit everything and did what I actually wanted to do, which was start a band.

I love all the '90s kind of grunge, and I love classic rock: That's where the spectrum lies.

I paint and I sculpt and I enjoy doing things that aren't for the public. There's no pressure to it, it's just something that's a cleansing of the mind.

I'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships. I've got a couple close relationships with friends, a close relationship with my family, and a close relationship with my guitar. I'll know if the right person comes along, and whatever then - cool - but it's not something I'm seeking out at the moment.

I have a knife collection. I have my favourite black knife with me all the time. It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it. I close it and open it.

Everyone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.

I think the long-term goal is to continue to grow as people and as a unit, individually and together, and hopefully continue to keep making records that are better every time, because if you're not moving forward, you're either standing still or regressing.

When you're touring, you're working from the moment you wake up to the moment you got to bed. Sometimes you make up fun drama, because it can get a little boring, but that's all light-hearted fun so that's different.

You get more insight as you get older, on everything. I kind of woke up one morning and was like, 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything'. I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product'.
