I like to be real private; you don't always want everyone around you - even when they like you.

We take it for granted we know the whole story - We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines.

Regarding social media, I really dont understand what appears to be the general populations lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent... but hey its them, not me, so whatever.

We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.

When I was a kid, I was told rock n' roll wasn't music. It wasn't art. Queen was my proof, my evidence, that these people were wrong - and they meant everything to me.

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 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.
