My Goal With Everything That I Do

When I Was Nine Years Old, I Started Playing Guitar, And I Took Classical Guitar Lessons And Studied Music Theory. And Played Jazz For A While. And Then When I Was Around Fourteen Years Old, I Discovered Punk Rock. And So I Then Tried To Unlearn Everything I Had Learned In Classical Music And Jazz So I Could Play In Punk Rock Bands.

When Someone Comes To Me And Says The Music I've Made Has Affected Them Emotionally, That's The Most Gratifying Part Of My Job.

I Still Never Get Recognized. Small, Bald White Guys Like Myself - We All Kind Of Look The Same.

When I Was Fifteen Years Old, The Only Distinction In Music My Friends And I Made Was [that] There's Music Made By People With Short Hair And Music Made By People With Long Hair.

The Most Emotional Part Is When I Go Into My Studio Every Day And Pretty Much Never Have An Idea Of What's Gonna Happen.
