Writing music is my therapy. It’s very purifying!

I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.

I feel like for me the lyric writing really comes from just what's going on in my heart and that's what consumes me; think a lot of our heart is relationships. Not just with boyfriend or girlfriend but all your relationships in your life with other people and our interactions with other humans.

My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live!

When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.

Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.

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.
