Here are some quotes that Ryan said during interviews or to his fans during shows.
--------------------------------------------------------

  • "I want a girl who can fart on me. Well, not on me, but near me..."
  • "This is called "On The Way Down", it's about pancakes!!!"
  • "I don't let anybody touch my hair. If there's hands, I slap them! The only people I let touch my hair are my fans!"
  • "I'm going to do whatever it takes to be able to affect people the same way I’ve been affected by the music I love."
  • "Cookies are unbelievable. I have a problem, I eat like, four to five a day."
  • "If I could tour with anyone, I'd go with either Maroon 5, or Dave Matthews. No, lets go with Sting, he will be my all time favorite...wait no I want to go on tour with The Police."
  • "We (Rubix Groove) were absolutely awful, the worst kind of music ever made."
  • "I'm just looking forward to touring and playing live. That’s the best part. I love it. It’s the most insane energy. You could never replace it. It’s this high. It’s amazing."
  • "My guitar is my crutch. Without it, I feel like I'm going to pee my pants."
  • "The song "Take It All Away" is about how material possessions take over people. People start to lose a sense of reality because no matter how much they have, it isn't good enough.
    Sometimes the most happy people in life are the ones with nothing.
    We can't lose sight of the little things in life that should make us the happiest."
  • "The song "True" was about falling in love with a person and wanting to know how they feel about you. You don't really know and you're kind of vulnerable.
    It's like, 'Do you want me or what?'"
  • Talking about his music band:
    "The music was just as bad as our name was, I just wanted to play guitar, but it came along with singing, and I really didn't have a choice. They just threw me up there, I'd never sung in my life."
  • "I sometimes feel I can move mountains with my music. When people come up to me and say how something I wrote or a performance I gave changed them or moved them in a great way, it truly makes me feel alive. I now know I can put a positive message out there."
  • "I will do anything for five bucks. I ran down naked downtown Dallas for twenty bucks."
  • "I will do anything for fifty bucks. People are always trying to get me to do dumb things, the possibilities are endless."
  • "Has anyone ever told you that you have the eyes of a gorilla?"
