I still listen to black metal all the time - that's obviously one of my favorite kinds of music - but I steer from it very strongly.

Our houses are at least 12 feet under water. All you can see on TV are rooftops. And the bridge we came across, the I-10 twin span, is now split.

I wanted people to connect with the lyrics, even if it's in some weird way, because they're all personal.

I had the idea to become really emotionally detached, and a lot of the time I've treated people that I've cared about a lot really unfairly.

I've always had this thing where I've always seen my parents as people, from a very young age.

After years of touring, my voice has gotten a lot stronger. I used to just blow out after two or three shows, so I've definitely trained my voice, because I can now hit notes that I couldn't hit before.

I love seeing people get excited.
