When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

My deepest apologies to all of our friends, fans and people who have worked on and supported us being a part of this festival, we are sorry for these awful circumstances and you can be certain this will not defeat us.

If I'm going to make music and put my heart and soul into this and dedicate my whole life to it, I want to be making something that 15, 20, 30 years from now, somebody is listening to and that is a staple of the time it came out.

I got really tired of metal music. How do you pick what's good to sell when you're not totally into what you're listening to and marketing?

I don't think in time signatures, and when I do, what I write is generally 3/4 or 4/4, the most basic, straightforward stuff. I think that comes from just not being a super-schooled musician.

Some people are really into being music-minded and knowing all their scales and how to read music and speak the language.

I'm not going to hide the fact that I am a happy person.
