I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.

I could beat my mike stand into the stage, but I was still in pain. Maybe fans liked it, but sometimes people forget you're a person and they're more into the entertainment value. It's taken a long time to turn that around and give a strong show without it being a kamikaze show.

I think the pressure has also helped me want to rise above that pressure, and it has helped in accelerating the healing process. It's helped give me a drive. I have a definite survival drive, and the pressure gave me a drive to get on top of it.

I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

Many times drugs and alcohol - there's a technical term that they're called, emotional suppressants - are the only things that can help a person survive and get through and be able to deal with their pain.

I'm glad to be here [in Israel] again.
