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

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

“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.”

“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 want to be self-made and leave a mark.”

“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.”

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

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

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

“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 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've always been into fashion and obscure articles of clothing, and while this first set of Hoods Up includes beanies, shorts, shirts, leggings, sweaters and duffel bags, that is only the first tier of what we are planning.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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 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.”

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

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