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

I get really affected by songs as a music listener - they mean so much and they feel so significant.

I'm sure as I progress the sound may get cleaner but right now, I'm still interested in having it rough but never overwhelmingly so. I consider myself an amateur pop songwriter and I want that to come through, too.

Billboard called my solo album, 'Standing In The Spotlight,' a great party album and even said that my raps put the Beastie Boys to shame.

I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass, too, but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

It's very hard to tour.
