A girl in Salt Lake once asked me,
"Why are you wearing make-up, are you a fag?"
I then said "Well, if I'm a fag for wearing make-up,
you must be a dyke in blue jeans." I also informed her
that she was just angry because I was prettier than she was.

One time I was singing along with a boy
that looked like me in the crowd and he pushed away
the mic and started making out with me and accidently
bit my lip and I had to get stitches.

______________________________________________

I find drug use disrespectful, self destructive and weak.
I want no part of it. I believe in complete respect for myself and others.

This barricade is a piece of shit. I could build better.
Yeah, yeah, believe it or not, the kid with the lipstick
knows how to build stuff.

______________________________________________

Hate humanity? Yep, sure do. There's such a lack of responsibilty
for one's actions in the world, a selfishness, and a great
destruction in the way people live their lives. It's all instant
gratification, and who cares how my instant gratification affects
those around me, or on a small personal level or a global level.
The way people treat eachother is truly disgusting, and we've
created an environment through advances in science and
technology that allows for a very septic society to thrive.
And we breed and breed, and all the wrong people breed while all
the right people don't wanna have children because they
don't wanna place them in this world.

______________________________________________

Davey: Yeah, they'll listen to it, and if it says something crazy,
they'll say, "Oh, we can't play this. This is too much for the
people to handle." There are some exceptions to the rule.
There are bands like Tool, or Smashing Pumpkins.
Rage Against the Machine. Nine Inch Nails. What other bands
have valid things to say?
Adam: Slipknot.
Davey: Slipknot??? I don't know what the hell they're saying!
Adam: They want to take over the world.

Interviewer: "Do you want to pick it Davey?"
Davey: "A track from the new album?"
Int':"Yeah,"
Davey: "I get to pick?"
Int': "How 'bout Dancing Through Sunday?"
Davey: "That sounds good, we can do that."

______________________________________________

"Uhm. I would say, first of all this brings to mind is pornography, I know, I probably said this last time. yeah, check out pornography." - Davey on what album to check out.

"We have places to live, we just dont live there."

During the last Warped Tour, in Houston, I started hallucinating onstage, it
was so hot. I would move from one side of the stage to the other and not
realize how I got there. There was a small piece of shade near the drum riser,
but as the set progressed it got smaller and smaller. Finally I
thought, 'Maybe I can crawl underneath the drum riser itself.' I had to be out
of my mind-it was only a couple feet above the ground. I wasn’t even
considering how fucking stupid I’d look

The worst yet best show ever was in Toronto, the last time we were in Canada.
The bouncers were being ridiculous – they were really roughing up these kids
to the extent that we kept having to stop performing and reprimand the
bouncers. At one point, I was telling a bouncer to leave this kid alone and
this huge guy responds by slapping this little punk kid. Fuckin’ hit him right
in the face, he fell back. I lose control, I’m freaked out and I told the
audience, 'this guy just slapped one of you. Get him.' So the bouncers fled,
and 700 kids started attacking them, the promoters were all over the stage.
The show was going to end – it was fucked. I gained composure and apologized
to the crowd, to the bouncers over the PA and told the kids what I said was
really stupid, and not to hurt anybody. We started playing again, and the rest
of the show was all for one, one for all. There was no security, so the kids
had to watch out for each other. Our last song, the stage was just packed with
200 kids, singing along. When the show was over, the bouncers locked me in the
dressing room, about four of them. They were threatening to kill me, breaking
bottles and holding them up to my face. I almost got killed; it was one of the
most frightening experiences of my life.

At the time we were really into skating and skating and punk rock and hardcore
go hand in hand so...THERES A HORSE, theres a horse, and a little dog and a
woman in a hat!

Oh shit, I lost a ring, I sure hope its in my pocket. This motherfuckin
ring... ok, I had one and it broke in half and I got another one, and now it
disappeared. Continue your interview, I'm hoping it's in my pocket

I don’t know what the monster is. there is a monster. it happens in the
studio. sometimes it happens on stage. and its in my neck. sometimes it
happens when I’m just talking like id be talking to you and the monster bites
me....it hurts. ITS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO BE WHACK

Speaking of art, I saw Cabaret in SF last week. It was fucking amazing!
Yeah, it's a musical... yeah I know.

______________________________________________

How many times will Davey put a disc into his CD player before realizing it's a DVD?

______________________________________________

Oh, please! I wish I had her body!

______________________________________________

If everyone could back up. Please back up. We've got some crushed ribs and
some fragile people up here... You alright?

______________________________________________

Ricky Martin's got nothing on my pants.

Jade: Hey Dave, are you jealous that the entire Girl's Not Grey video takes place in my crotch?
Davey: No, because I'm going to take place in your crotch.

______________________________________________

Personally I have never found the practice of recrational drug use appealing.
In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to
be abhorrent. I never quite understood why anyone would risk sacrificing their
bodies, minds, and relationships at the expense of a quick damaging high. I
grew up in a small town and at my highschool, like every highschool,
everyone's recreation of choice was drug abuse. I never understood it. I never
took part and always felt quite alone in this decision. Then one day I
discovered a band called Minor Threat and realized that there were more people
out there who thought like me. I was very excited to say the least, and what
was more encouraging, these people were part of the oh so self destructive
punk scene. From that day on I claimed the X. I continue to do so today
because I believe the SXE philosophy is a very positive one that many people,
especially young people, can benefit from greatly if they have the desire.

______________________________________________

...I experienced one of my most starstuck moments at the Oasis show. Now, there are a handful of people who will get me starstruck, but generally, I'm able to handle myself because if I meet them it's at a place where I wouldn't be suprised to do so. I did not expect to see Trent Reznor in Las Vegas at this Oasis show, so when I did, I had a little episode. Needless to say I totally dorked out and fan-boyed all over the accommodating gentleman for about 4.5 seconds before letting him be free of me. He was cool. It was nifty. Bowie, you're next.

______________________________________________

Q:Who are you religion wise?
Davey:I am God! No wait...I am the devil! No, damn I know this one...

______________________________________________

Old ladies come up to me all the time telling me to find God, when all I want to find is some chai and a good vegan muffin

______________________________________________

I don't think there's such a thing as a happy teenager

______________________________________________

Please excuse me if it seems I'm throwing a little tantrum, but I can't get a microphone that fucking works.

______________________________________________

On Pink Floyd: Maybe I never gave them a chance. But when I grew up, hippies listened to Pink Floyd! And I just can't ever get over that. I can't deny my roots. I'm not a big fan of fuckin' hippies. To me, listening to Pink Floyd is like listening to the Grateful Dead.

If you're gonna come up here and sing with me, don't sing the wrong words in my ear because that really fucks me up.

I'm an extremist, I have to deal with my own extreme personality, and I walk the fine line of wanting to die and wanting to be the ruler of it all.

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much

______________________________________________

Do what you feel is right for you, no matter what. Believe in yourself, no matter how many people tell you that you're fucked up, do what you have to do. AS LONG as it doesn't infringe on other people's happiness

I'm gonna meet Lars in his bunk tonight. We'll see what happens..."

I'm pencil girl!

I look like an inflatable fuckdoll. (( ::site owner chokes on soda:: ))

Interviewer: I don't want to be rude but you guys are a bunch of weirdo freaks. Do the locals abuse you in the street in Ukiah?
Davey: The time I went back before last I got whistled at by some hicks in a truck. I was flattered but I'm not sure they were really interested.

______________________________________________

Fan: Davey, how do you respond to the rumours circulating that you are a homosexual? Is there any truth to these?
Davey: How do I respond? [pause] Ecstatically! Fabulously!

______________________________________________

Some nice young lady got me fuzzy socks. How I love the socks in their fuzziness. A thank you for my bday present to the girl I did not meet.

______________________________________________

Yeah, I can't play a thing at all. I cannot play an instrument. I do a lot of 'nah-nah-nah-doo-doo-doo' kinda stuff *laughs*

______________________________________________

Interviewer: Why are you guys so awesome?
Davey: Fuzzy creatures.

______________________________________________

"You're denying your heritage! You should eat cheese!" [quoting his mom]

______________________________________________

Interviewer: Yeah and you've got a lot of wives or potential wives.
Davey: Wow. I didn't even know I had one. Wow, that's great *laughs* I think.
Interviewer: I was going to ask you know you felt about that but I guess you didn't know.
Davey: No, I didn't know. Hopefully, they won't all show up in the same place at the same time or I'm in trouble, right? *laughs*
Interviewer: Right. But you're a Scorpio, so you might be able to make that work.
Davey: I could try my hardest.

______________________________________________

I always go up to him, and I'm like, 'Fucking Hunter...what's up?

Crowd surfing it a product of car commercials

I wish terrible things upon the person that just did that." [after being hit in the crotch with a shoe by someone in the crowd at Warped Tour in Charlotte, NC]

Fan: DAVEY I WANNA HAVE YOUR KIDS!
Davey: Wellll I'll be sure to call ya

______________________________________________

Interviewer: Do you practice putting makeup on anyone in the band?
Davey: No. But I practice other things.

______________________________________________

I kan nawt spel gud

______________________________________________

...I didn't want to share my balloons...my mom wanted me too..." [as a child]

______________________________________________

Yes I'm a lot prettier than you and you're a girl...I noticed. Pfft, do you believe this? This girl is mad at me cause I'm prettier than her and she's a girl. Don't worry honey, nobody noticed.

______________________________________________

The song is based on detachment, seclusion and separation, but I intentionally don't write in a way that is very specific so that people can take what they need to from my songs. When I was growing up there were songs that meant a lot to me, and then I found out they meant something entirely different to the artist, and it ruined it for me. I never want to do that to someone. [on Girl's Not Grey]

______________________________________________

As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come. I truly hope you enjoy the new record.
