Quote:
"Biggest influences in life, that's a tough one to figure out. I think it's been a lot of people all in one. Bits and pieces from all over, Johnny Cash, Bruce Lee, Robert de Nero, Sean Penn, Mike Ness, pro skaters Mike Frazier and Steve Caballero, Adroc from the Beastie Boys, Hank Williams, Tupac, Elvis, Mark "Chopper" Reed, Mohammed Ali, the bible is a definite influence on me, people who are diverse and of course my wife."
