Band Quotes

• You're going to come across a lot of shitty band, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like or they don't accept you for who you are, I want you to look right at that motherf*****, stick up your middle finger, and scream F*** YOU!

• I definitely get my artistry and my vocal talent from my mother and mother's side. She sang in a jazz trio band so growing up my dad would always take me to see her play and she has a beautiful voice. When I was little and started to sing, she supported me and let that fire burn. She always knew what it took as a support system.

• But I also enjoy music outside the band. I've been doing production for other people, including Robert Wyatt. Check him out. The album we did together, 'Rock Bottom,' I think it's really lasted well. It's a 35-year-old album, but it worked.

• Do you ever look at the sky and think, I'm glad I'm alive? After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I'm actually alive to hear the shittiest band of all time.

• We’re very impatient. We don’t believe that in bands you should dwell on the future. Any band that you and I have listened to, if it’s overworked, if it’s thought about before then, it’s never going to happen. I think you have to be writing, you have to be arguing, you have to be in that environment.
