"I love what I do, and I intend to keep playing."

-- Mark Mendoza

“Thereâ€™s a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost, that the ship has sailed, and that only a fool would continue. The truth is, Iâ€™ve always been a fool.”
“A real good artist is basically a grown-up kid, who never kills the kid. What we call being an adult is basically about killing the kid. People think you have to forget about the kid to become an adult and deal with grown-up problems. But, that's bullshit. We are still kids. It's the same, you just grow up. You're a kid with more experience.”

“The world of painting has nothing to do with the art world.”
“In a better world, I can do anything. I'll be there in a better world. In a better world, they will not laugh at me or look down their nose at me.”
“Do I start with the lyrics? No. Quite honestly, it's the opposite. I generally get the melody first - I kinda fiddle around on the guitar and work out a melody. The lyrics are there to flesh out the tone of the music. I've tried before to do things the other way around, but it never seems to work. Obviously, I spend a lot of time on my lyrics, I take them very seriously, but they're kinda secondary. Well, equal, maybe. I think sometimes that if you write a poem, it should remain as just a poem, just... words.”
“I fundamentally believe that people have a genuine desire to be positively engaged in the world around them.”
