A lot of times, adults confuse growing up or becoming more mature with a sense of seriousness, a sense of boringness, a sense of just stupidness.

I feel like professional athletes are the ones that deserve to be tired. I'm just partying, and there's definitely physical exertion involved in that, but it also fuels you as you go.

Try to imagine that you're the strongest, most noble, most thoughtful, most compassionate, intelligent person in the world, and pretend to be that. Speak from that place. It's more than self-awareness; it's the ability to access this super-intelligence.

I'm a guy who wants to party and have as many adventures as possible.

My goal is never to tone down.

You just have to set a goal and go for it.

I think all of our concerts, really, as parties. It's a performance for sure. It's not a recital. It's a celebration of that music.

Pittsburgh is a very unique place.

Sometimes if I do radio interviews or certain kinds of interviews or things that would require me to travel, then I'll get a nice car ride. Someone will take me, drive me to that place, and I'll actually get to see around.

The entertainment industry is so vast; that's why I got into it the first place.

The inertia that you get from partying pays back energy to keep you partying. So, if I get tired, I just party some more, and then I feel better.

I was a real serious kid, real intense, and there were a lot of things that I was doing by myself I took seriously, like organizing little pieces of paper, cutting out things from magazines, and filing them away.
