We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.

It's okay to laugh at me, I only look scary.

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

I write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.

Every time a cool rock chick or actress seems to respect themselves as a strong woman, I'm like, 'Yeah!' And I love them, and they're my girls. And then they start to go downhill and people aren't paying attention anymore. So they start stripping their clothes off, because that's all they have left. I swear to everything I've ever known, I will never do that

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

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.
