I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.

I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.

Growing up, I always wanted to be in punk bands, so I'm really enjoying the harder, heavier element. It's always been my dream to have people moshing at my gig, kind of that really feral element of the music coming out more. I love crowd-surfing.

I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.

I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships.
