I am not a monster, I am just a man.

To whom it may concern, I'm the same.

All that I've learned has faded away.

I'm not a vampire but I feel like one

I don't ever want to go back to prison.

I want to be self-made and leave a mark.

Karma is real, it balances the universe.

I'm not disrespectful, I try to be polite.

I just write from how I feel. As an outlet.

If I can make it out, anyone can make it out!

I'm not perfect but I'm learning to be better.

I'm not Mr. Goody-Good or anything, but I'm not stupid.

The best measure of success, is how you deal with failure

You may have won the war, but you will never take my crown

The more you kick me when I'm down, the more it truly helps.

I've been down a long road, but I promise you, it gets better.

I don't hang out with people that are gonna get me in trouble.

My dad raised me on metal, but my first serious love was hip-hop.

I've been beaten, I've been bruised, I was left for dead as well.

I feel the madness creeping slowly. Loved by many I'm still lonely.

I woke up one day, and for some reason all the hate and anger was gone.

I was crazy. And I was too much of a diva. I'm glad I'm not like that anymore.

I don't think many people get second chances when it comes to the music scene.

It's better to have a voice without alcohol in my system from the night before.

I pretty much do whatever I want when it comes to music and nothing is off limits to me.

I plan to take Hoods Up to another level of art once we've reached the level of doing so.

I have learned of this great force and will never test the boundless energy of what is karma.

I think sober is the new black. That's the cool thing now. I'm trying to make it the cool thing.

It feels really good when you get offstage and feel like the audience gave everything they have.

Be still my tongue, for i know not what to say; My life is lived in darkness and here i will remain.

I got these questions always running through my head. So many things that I would like to understand.

I we are born to die and we all die to live, then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?

By the way, the food in prison was disgusting. Like, baked beans every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

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.

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 spent my whole musical career trying to be different and make songs that people think shouldn't go together... go together.

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.

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 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.

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.

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'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 feel the world is over-saturated with [brand] products, and it isn't about what you're wearing as much as it is about what message you are trying to convey.

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.

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 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.

The world will not end. This is ridiculous. I think it's like 2000. It's a great trick to do business and earn lots of money because stupid people hoard things. This is a stimulator of the economy.

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.

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.
