“I read comments where our fans say Geffen screwed up 'Coming Home,' they screwed New Found Glory, but that's not really true. Maybe Geffen didn't have the right tools or whatever to get it to the kids, and internally, there were a bunch of changes going on at the label when our record came out, so I don't know if it's anyone's fault.”

“When we started, our style of music wasn't on MTV. It wasn't cool, and it wasn't popular. The only bands who were even kind of similar were Blink-182 and Green Day. But we don't sound like those bands, even if people throw us in that category now.”

“Kids don't want to hear the same record. There are a hundred million bands that they could listen to; you want to give them something that they've never heard before.”

“When we did the 'Titanic' theme, that song was everywhere. At the time we did it, it wasn't an old song. We didn't really listen to that song. We're not fans of the song. It was more about taking the song everyone knew and making it sound like a New Found Glory track.”

“We walk around Warped Tour all the time and I swear to you, kids are like, 'Hey, that looks like the guy from New Found Glory.'”

“For us, punk rock and even hardcore music was something we did because we didn't fit in in high school. We had nowhere to go, so we went to shows.”

“I think one thing that's amazing about 'Resurrection' is that we weren't afraid to lay it all out there lyrically.”

“Actually my favorite singer of all time is Bjork. And my favorite band of all time is They Might Be Giants.”

“It's kind of cool being at a poker table with the guys from NOFX, a guy from Bad Religion, a guy from Lagwagon, all these cool punk bands you've always dug.”

“All we do when we're not making music is play video games, eat food and see movies.”

“'My Friends Over You' has two guitars, but if you listen to us live, it's the same... I know how to hit a rhythm note and play lead at the same time.”

“I've been badly shocked before. I grabbed the mic to talk - it was near an outlet and there was water. I got shocked, and the jolt went from my head to my feet, shutting down my body and I just passed out. My friends woke me up and took me to the hospital.”

“We aren't just some record to put out before the new Pussycat Dolls CD!”

“If we meet some people that are in love with NFG that are a major label, then we'll sign with them. If we meet people that are in love with NFG that are an independent label - and they have a plan - well, then we'll sign to them. It's completely up to us.”

“Nowadays, people get tattoos so easily, to look cool and only for fashion.”

“I suppose we don't know that much about how the music business operates in the U.K., but from what I've heard, it's a pretty big deal.”

“The scene in South Florida when we were growing up, it wasn't divided. It wasn't different scenes. If you played loud or crazy music, you were on the same show.”

“Because of social media being such a marketable format, things are constantly being released, so people don't pay as much attention because they have a million things being thrown at them. You reach more people, but now there's more content. Before, it was harder to get the people but there was less content.”

“You think of your first album, when we had no clue what we were doing, we had no clue if people were going to like it or not, we did it because we love it.”

“All of our songs, no matter what record they're on, mean a lot to us.”
