Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

All of my favorite records have vocals high in the mix, even if it's music that wasn't necessarily mainstream.

I'd like to thank myself, and congratulate myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.

I get starstruck really easily. I love music so much - it sounds so silly to say that - so if I'm playing a festival and somebody I love, like [Primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, is there in the backstage area, I'm like, "Wow this is amazing! There they are!"

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.

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