I'm actually at home when I'm not on tour, and I have a lot of downtime.

You have many options in life, never make giving up one of them

Its disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and Im comfortable with myself.

When I think of nu-metal, I think of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and even Chevelle - those types of bands.

I'm not going to be like a rapper and mention the people I'm talking about in my songs by name.

I don't know why people have to categorize things in music under music. It's music and it's music and it's music. When you start putting genres on things, I think it's completely ridiculous, and I hate that.

What I think of when I think of nu-metal: structured, heavy music that has a point. It's angry just like all the other music, but the bigger parts are bigger and the powerful parts are more powerful and the slow parts slower.
