It was sad when Sid Vicious died... I was freaked out when Phil Lynott died from Thin Lizzy. I cried. It was too crazy.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

If somebody thinks wearing pretty dresses onstage somehow discredits us that's pretty absurd.

There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.

I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

I just being able to write songs I'm proud of and finding some women to play with is exciting.
