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.

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.

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 love seeing people get excited.

I grew up in an apartment my whole life. It was just me, my mom, and my brother - she supported us. And we've always liked driving through rich neighborhoods, especially around Christmas. We would always admire the wealth. I always had this strange feeling with it.

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.
