When I was in high school, I listened to a lot of death metal bands.

The only place I'm recognized is at the mall, because that's where the teens are.

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.

I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.

That's where I spent of lot of my high-school years -- in the closet. It wasn't too cramped, but you do get really hot.

I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.

Don't be afraid of the shadows, it only means there's a light nearby.
