As Long As Each Day

I Started Playing Bass For The Same Reason Everyone Else Does – I’m A Lousy Guitarist.

I Hate Saying That Youth Is Wasted On The Young Since It's So F**king Stupid, But I Think You Realize If You're Fortunate Enough To Realize What You Have, You Don't Want To Sleep As Much Or Squander Any Time. It's Weird, But Early In Your Career You Don't Stop To Smell The Roses Since You're Too Busy Picking Them.

I Love Our Country. My Dad Served In The Army. I Always Grew Up With A Song Sense Of Belonging As An American. But I Was Also In The Counterculture And I Was Coming From A Place Of Fearing The Police. So I Was Anti-establishment, But Also Loving Your Country. It's Kind Of An Ironic Sort Of Upbringing.

I Look At My Kids As The Harry Potter Generation. There's A Sense Of Justice About That, In Beating Voldemort. It's A Classic Tale Of Good Versus Evil. To Have A Role Model Like Harry Potter That Says You Can Defeat Evil, But Still Be A Complicated Human Being. That Gives Me A Lot Of Hope.

I Think That's The Most Important Thing You Can Do To Be A Real Person - Is To Be Honest With Yourself.
